摘要:
Empirical studies of the restrictions implied by the intertemporal capital asset pricing model across different asset markets have found conflicting evidence. This paper asks whether an auxiliary assumption implicit in these tests could be responsible for the pattern of rejections. This auxiliary assumption requires that covariances of returns with consumption move in constant proportion over time. The paper tests this condition empirically using data on foreign exchange, bonds, and equity returns. Interestingly, the evidence suggests that the tendency to reject the intertemporal consumption-based asset pricing relationship depends upon the inadequacy of the auxiliary assumption, not necessarily the relationship itself.
