Covered Purchasing Power Parity, Ex‐ante PPP and Risk Aversion

Author

Listed:
  • Michael J. Moore

Abstract

The standard expectations augmented theory of ex‐ante Purchasing Power Parity which was first developed by Roll assumes that agents are risk neutral. A Covered Purchasing Power Condition is developed which holds for the general case of risk aversion. A risk augmented form of ex‐ante PPP is then derived using a consumption‐based asset pricing framework. This is tested for the post‐Bretton woods period for the group of seven main industrial countries. The results suggest that risk aversion has a part to play in explaining deviations from PPP.
