Abstract

This paper aims to shed light on the determinants of systematic risk in the global macro finance interface We estimate a time varying two factor ICAPM using weekly equity returns and MSCI market capitalisation weighted basket of foreign currencies We follow a two step estimation procedure in the first step the timevarying betas and alphas are estimated using a GARCH 1 1 specification model In the second step the estimated betas and alphas are regressed on annual macroeconomic and financial variables using a panel approach We find a significant exposure of country returns to non systematic risk and to world market systematic risk The significant exposure is defined by the dynamics of local risk factors as well as by global risk factors As for the value added of the paper we confirm the rise of global risk factors and the interferences between idiosyncratic and common factors Moreover specification tests enable as to verify the suitability of the selected variables and corroborate the mild segmentation hypothesis Our findings provide a potential usefulness for portfolio managers and for domestic governors aiming to improve their attractiveness indices
