The need to understand the mechanics of exchange rates and their developments has generated a
vast theoretical and empirical literature. The flexible price monetary model, which subsequently
gave way to the overshooting or sticky-price model, the equilibrium and liquidity models as well as
the portfolio balance approach have characterised three decades of research, from the 1960s to the
1980s. More recently, since the publication of Obstfeld and Rogoff’s (1995) seminal “redux” paper,
the new open-economy macroeconomics has attempted to explain exchange rate developments in
the context of dynamic general equilibrium models that incorporate imperfect competition and
nominal rigidities. Empirically, these theoretical developments have fared poorly at explaining
exchange rate dynamics, at least over relatively short horizons, and several exchange rate puzzles
have been highlighted.
The increasing role played by international financial markets in developed economies
constitutes a persuasive argument to explore possible relationships between returns on risky assets
and exchange rates dynamics. Recently, a new strand of research has investigated the
interconnections between equity and bond returns, on one side, and exchange rate dynamics, on the
other side, with promising results (see Brandt et al., 2001; Pavlova and Rigobon, 2003; Hau and
Rey, 2004 and 2005).
In this paper, by employing the Lucas’ (1982) consumption economy model, we introduce a
new framework explaining exchange rate dynamics. We propose an arbitrage relationship between
expected exchange rate changes and differentials in expected equity returns of two economies.
Specifically, if expected returns on a certain equity market are higher than those obtainable from
another market, the currency associated with the market that offers higher returns is expected to
