27 No Heterogeneous Exposure - Takeaways 1 UIP failure and carry trade are distinct phenomena Symmetric setup delivers UIP failure but no carry trade UIP failure: heterogenous local shocks HML: heterogenous exposure to global news shocks 2 Risk-sharing measures: V(FX) and Corr(C,C ). Bilateral measures are misleading when news shocks are priced. 14 / 28

GE model with (i) recursive preferences, (ii) multiple countries, and (iii) heterogenous exposure to global news shocks Unified framework for several phenomena. Consistent with data, High news exposure countries have: - Low interest rates - Safe currencies - Positive NFA positions - More volatile NFA and FX (same for low risk exposure countries) 3. Future research: investment flows, interplay with frictions
