Abstract
Empirical tests are performed to examine whether foreign exchange excess returns for the British pound, Canadian dollar, Deutsche mark, and Japanese yen are related to volatility in the currency market and volatility in the stock markets. Results indicate that volatility from currency markets is significant in explaining the excess returns, suggesting that the excess returns are indeed reward for risk-taking. In addition, shocks in equity markets are found to have a significant impact on currency risk premium as well. In some cases, nonlinearity in the risk premium is found.
