Abstract: We revisit the literature that explores the relationship between domestic and foreign markets asset pricing puzzles, by evaluating the relative performance of different consumption-based models. We estimate and test the overidentifying restrictions of Euler equations associated with the consumption capital asset pricing model, in its canonical and main reference level versions. Our main findings are: 1) similar, however unreasonable, values for the parameters are obtained for most of the models in both equity and foreign exchange markets; 2) rejections or otherwise of overidentifying restrictions occurs for the two markets, suggesting that success and failure stories for each model takes place in the other market. We also compare the consumption-based pricing kernel with a preference-free pricing kernel built in da Costa et al. (2015) and perform in-sample predictions exercises. Our work provides empirical grounds to believe that progresses on preference-based solutions to puzzles in domestic financial markets will shed light on puzzles in foreign exchange market as, for example, recent work by Verdelhan (2010).
