| Abstract: | This paper estimates implied costs reconciling international portfolios with InCAPM predictions. Costs depend on home- and host-country characteristics and on interactions. Estimated is risk tolerance, controlling for currency risk, inflation hedging, fixed-interest investments etc. For developed markets, estimates are lower than reported before. However, those for new markets are quite high: from 2001 ti 2004 inward shadow costs range from 0.01 percent p.a. (for U.S.) to 37 percent (for Indonesia). find that equity home bias is found to be related to a mixture of risks and frictions, e.g. information asymmetries, and explicit costs. |
