“…We find preliminary support for this mechanism using panel data for the G7 countries. This is in contrast to the results of van Wincoop and Warnock (2010), who find no systematic correlation between fluctuations in the empirical-based real exchange rate (which only imperfectly capture changes in the number of varieties) and equity returns. Our paper points to a correlation between fluctuations in the welfare-based real exchange rate and equity returns.…”

“…However, empirically these explanations have not fared very well. van Wincoop and Warnock (2010) show that the second explanation can explain virtually no home bias at all. Bottazzi et al (1996) and Julliard and Rosa (2009) find that the non-traded asset explanation also does not generate much home bias.…”

“…All we can say is that currently there is no theory justifying such specifications and it is best for empirical work to be consistent with existing theory. rates, van Wincoop and Warnock (2010) show that hedging real exchange rate risk cannot account for portfolio home bias. Consistent with these findings, Coeurdacier (2009) develops an extension of Obstfeld and Rogoff (2000) to show that for realistic model parameters trade barriers cannot generate a portfolio home bias.…”

“…One direction for future research would be to extend the model to include both equities and bonds and introduce additional shocks. Recent empirical works by van Wincoop and Warnock (2008) and Coeurdacier and Gourinchas (2009) show that hedging the real exchange rate risk occurs largely through international bond holdings, since relative bond returns are strongly correlated with real exchange rate fluctuations. Moreover, the unconditional correlation between excess equity returns and the real exchange rate is too low to tackle the equity home bias observed in the data.…”
