Abstract

We develop an incomplete markets framework to synthesize domestic and foreign stochastic discount factors (SDFs) that are consistent with limited international risk sharing. The funda- mental departure in our paper is that exchange rate growth need not equal the ratio of SDFs, and we develop a restriction that precludes “good deals” in international economies with in- complete markets. Our innovation is to study an incomplete markets problem that is consistent with SDFs that (i) are nonnegative, (ii) correctly price returns, and (iii) disallow “good deals.”
