The Inference of Tastes and Beliefs from Bond and Stock Market Data

Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis 1978 13(2), 273
In many circles the Mean Variance Capital Asset Pricing Model (MV CAPM) is synonymous with the theory of capital asset pricing. But in a single-period discrete-time model which explicitly recognizes the existence of limited liability the derivation of the MV CAPM, if it is to be consistent with the von Neumann-Morgenstern postulates of rational behavior, must be based on the assumption that all investors have quadratic utility functions. This assumption in turn implies that risky assets are inferior goods. However, if we turn to the broader class of linear risk tolerance (LRT) utility functions, for which the separation property holds, other simple two-mutual-fund CAPMs can be derived. The power utility LRT CAPMs are of particular interest as they are consistent with risky assets being normal goods.

Optimal Foreign Borrowing Strategies with Operations in Forward Exchange Markets

Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis 1978 13(2), 245
When a unit of a multinational corporation requires short-term funding, it normally has the opportunity to obtain funds from a number of different sources, both internal and external to the country where these funds will be deployed. The possibility exists for borrowing in a currency other than the local currency of the borrowing unit. The purpose of this paper is to find the optimal currency source or sources for such a loan, when the borrowing unit can enter the forward exchange market for a term equivalent to the time to maturity of the loan.
