Reading 66: International Asset Pricing LOS D习题精选

LOS d: Justify the extension of the domestic CAPM to an international context (the extended CAPM) and describe the assumptions needed to make the extension.

Which of the following assumptions is NOT needed to justify the extended capital asset pricing model?

A)
World markets are integrated (i.e. no segmentation).
B)
Investors throughout the world have identical consumption baskets.
C)
The rate of inflation must be identical throughout the world.



The rate of inflation need not be identical throughout the world. In a world where identical consumption baskets exist and where purchasing power parity holds exactly at any point in time, exchange rate changes would mirror inflation differences between any two countries.

Suppose the assumptions underlying the extended capital asset pricing model (CAPM) hold. Which of the following would be TRUE in an extended CAPM world?

A)
Exchange rate changes could be perfectly hedged in the forward market.
B)
All investors would hold the same "uniform risk-free asset."

Which of the following assumptions is required in order to extend the domestic capital asset pricing model (CAPM) to an international setting?

A)
All countries have identifiable consumption baskets.
B)
Purchasing power parity holds at all times.

Exchange rate risk is perfectly hedged.

A)

The extended CAPM assumes that PPP holds exactly at any point in time.
