Description
This groundbreaking short book will change the way you think about currencies, prices, income, risk, asset pricing and risk premia. Adapted from the author's Oxford University thesis it generalises and corrects for a major bias in existing theory, then shows that periods of high volatility and high correlation should coincide, proves that forward prices are biased predictors of future spot prices, rescues consumption-based asset pricing from a newly discovered vulnerability, rationalises an astonishing amendment to CAPM, and proposes a new solution to the Equity Risk Premium Puzzle.
