摘要：
Many of
the leading models of the carry trade imply that, contrary to the empirical
evidence, a country's currency depreciates in times of high consumption and
output growth, a manifestation of the Backus and Smith (1993) puzzle. We
propose a modification of these models to account for financial market
incompleteness and show that such a modification can induce positive
correlation between currency appreciation and consumption or output growth
while, at the same time, helping resolve the Backus and Smith (1993) and
Brandt, Cochrane, and Santa-Clara (2006) puzzles. Furthermore, in many of the
existing models, the assumed fundamental cross-country differences (output
volatility, growth, and risk attitude) responsible for interest rate
differentials also appear at odds with the data. We document that default risk
and financial openness are strongly related to interest rate differentials and
carry trade profits in the data. The incomplete markets model we propose is
consistent with these novel empirical facts.
