We propose a model of volatility tail behavior, in which the pricing measure dominates the physical measure in both tails of the volatility distribution and, hence, the derived pricing kernel exhibits an increasing and decreasing region in the volatility dimension. The model features investors...

We propose a model of volatility tail behavior, in which investors display aversion to both low volatility and high volatility states, and, hence, the derived pricing kernel exhibits an increasing and decreasing region in the volatility dimension. The model features investors who have...

This paper studies the time-series predictability of currency carry trades, constructed by selecting currencies to be bought or sold against the U.S. dollar, based on forward discounts. Changes in a commodity index, currency volatility and, to a lesser extent, a measure of liquidity predict...
