dc.description.abstract |
We study the properties of the carry trade, a currency speculation strategy in which
an investor borrows low-interest-rate currencies and lends high-interest-rate currencies.
This strategy generates payoffs that are on average large and uncorrelated with traditional
risk factors. We argue that these payoffs reflect a peso problem. The underlying peso
event features high values of the stochastic discount factor rather than very large
negative payoffs. © 2010 The Author Published by Oxford University Press on behalf
