2 Introduction A carry trade investor earns an excess return by selling low-yielding currencies and investing in high-yielding currencies. but the risk is large as every once in a while, investment currencies suddenly depreciate thus causing large losses A risk-based view would suggest that investment currencies o er a premium for higher risk exposure (Fama, 1984). Della Corte, Riddiough & Sarno (2015) Currency Premia & Global Imbalances July / 22
3 Motivations A recent literature provides evidence that carry trade returns can be understood as compensation for global risk Lustig, Roussanov and Verdelhan (2011) propose a slope factor as a proxy for global risk Menkho, Sarno, Schmeling and Schrimpf (2012) use innovations to the average foreign exchange volatility. What economic forces drive global risk? the existing factors can be considered as proximate risk factors as they are based on nancial variables, in theory, determined by economic fundamentals in this paper we tackle this issue and shed light on the economic determinants of currency risk premia. Della Corte, Riddiough & Sarno (2015) Currency Premia & Global Imbalances July / 22
4 Overview What we do... guided by a model of capital ows in imperfect nancial markets (Gabaix and Maggiori, 2015) we test whether external imbalances can explain carry trade returns in a standard asset pricing framework.... our main results we identify a global imbalance risk factor that empirically explains the average carry trade returns, and denote it as IMB we thus support a risk-based interpretation of currency excess returns using economic fundamentals Gourinchas and Rey (2007), Gourinchas (2008), Habib and Stracca (2012), and Catão and Milesi-Ferretti (2014), among many others. F A carry trade investor demands compensation for his exposure to global imbalance risk. Della Corte, Riddiough & Sarno (2015) Currency Premia & Global Imbalances July / 22
5 Theoretical Motivations Gabaix and Maggiori (2015) propose a two-country model where each country borrows or lends in its own currency, intermediaries demand compensation (expected currency appreciation) for holding currency risk arising from imbalanced capital ows exchange rates are jointly determined by global imbalances and intermediaries risk-bearing capacity. Carry trade returns E (imp 1 ) E (RX ) = Γ i i E (imp 1 ) imp 0 (i + Γ) imp 0 + i i E (imp 1 ) imp 0 determines net foreign asset positions, i and i are the domestic and foreign riskless interest rates, Γ captures the risk-bearing capacity of nanciers Della Corte, Riddiough & Sarno (2015) Currency Premia & Global Imbalances July / 22
6 Testable Predictions Hypothesis 1: the carry trade return is bigger when the interest rate di erential is larger, the investment (funding) country is a net foreign debtor (creditor), and the investment (funding) country has a higher propensity to issue liabilities in foreign (domestic) currency (see Gourinchas, 2008). Hypothesis 2: when there is a nancial disruption ( Γ increases), net debtor countries experience a currency depreciation, while the opposite is true for net-creditor countries. Della Corte, Riddiough & Sarno (2015) Currency Premia & Global Imbalances July / 22
7 List of Countries The All Countries sample (55): Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, Estonia, Euro Area, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey, Ukraine, United Kingdom, and Venezuela. The Developed Countries sample (15): highlighted in blue. The sample ranges from October 1983 to June 2014 the number of available currencies changes over time. Della Corte, Riddiough & Sarno (2015) Currency Premia & Global Imbalances July / 22
8 Data Foreign exchange rates: end-of-month spot and 1-month forward exchange rates, source: Barclays and Reuters data via datastream, de nition: units of USD per unit of foreign currency. External imbalance data: annual data on the net foreign asset position to GDP ratio (nfa), source: Lane and Milesi-Ferretti (2007) and the IFS database, we construct monthly data by forward lling. Currency denomination of foreign liabilities: yearly data on the fraction of foreign liabilities in local currency (ldc), souce: Benetrix, Lane and Shambaugh (2014), we construct monthly data by backward/forward lling. Della Corte, Riddiough & Sarno (2015) Currency Premia & Global Imbalances July / 22
9 Carry Trade Portfolios At time t, group currencies into 5 portfolios using their forward discounts fd t P 1 : low-yielding currencies (funding currencies) P 5 : high-yielding currencies (investment currencies) At time t + 1, each portfolio s excess return is computed as the average individual excess return. Lustig, Roussanov, and Verdelhan (2011) the rst principal component implies an equally weighted strategy across all portfolios, and de nes the DOL factor the second principal component is equivalent to a long-short strategy between P 5 and P 1, and is denoted as CAR factor. Della Corte, Riddiough & Sarno (2015) Currency Premia & Global Imbalances July / 22
10 Global Imbalance Portfolios At time t, sort currencies into 2 baskets using nfa t re-order each basket using ldc t P 1 : creditor countries with liabilities mainly in domestic currency P 5 : debtor countries with liabilities primarily in foreign currency. At time t + 1, each portfolio s excess return is computed as the average individual excess return. Global imbalance factor we construct the imbalance factor as P 5 minus P 1, and refer to it as the IMB factor. Della Corte, Riddiough & Sarno (2015) Currency Premia & Global Imbalances July / 22

22 Conclusions The massive devaluation of high-yielding currencies in the aftermath of Lehman Brothers collapse has revived interest in the risk-return pro le of carry trade returns. If high interest rate currencies deliver low returns in bad times, then currency excess returns compensate investors for higher risk-exposure and UIP deviations re ect time-varying risk premia (Fama, 1984; Engel, 1984). Guided by Gabaix and Maggiori (2015), we construct an external imbalance risk factor that explains the majority of average excess returns in a standard asset pricing model. Debtor countries o er a currency risk premium to compensate investors willing to fund persistent current account de cits.
