The Cross-Section of Foreign Currency Risk Premia and Consumption Growth Risk: A ReplyHanno N. LustigUCLA - Anderson School of Management; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) Adrien VerdelhanMassachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) - Sloan School of Management; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) February 2008 NBER Working Paper No. w13812 Abstract: The U.S. consumption growth beta of an investment strategy that goes long in high interest rate currencies and short in low interest rate currencies is large and significant. The price of consumption risk is significantly different from zero, even after accounting for the sampling uncertainty introduced by the estimation of the consumption betas. The constant in the regression of average returns on consumption betas is not significant. In addition, the consumption and market betas of this investment strategy increase during recessions and times of crisis, when risk prices are high, implying that the unconditional betas understate its riskiness. We use the recent crisis as an example.
