Abstract. This paper derives simple closed-form solutions for expected rates of return on stocks and riskless one-period bills under the assumption that shocks to the growth rates of consumption and dividends are generated by a Markov regime-switching by: Get this from a library!

This paper derives simple closed-form solutions for expected rates of return on stocks and riskless one-period bills under the assumption that shocks to the growth rates of consumption and dividends are generated by a Markov regime-switching process. These closed-form solutions are used to show that the Markov regime-switching process exacerbates the equity premium puzzle and the. Exact Solutions for Expected Rates of Return Under Markov.
regime switching models. We are convinced that our finding, that is, stochastic ex-change rate under regime switching model, can sharply catch the regime switching time and period. Furthermore, two type of regimes: good and bad economic perfor-mance or normal and crisis periods, is better for most of the exchange rates studies than more regimes. Markov-switching model of exchange rates outperforms the random walk one. Plenty of followers use regime-switching models in exchange rate estimation and forecasting, and most of them find that these kinds of models either fit exchange rate data well or generate superior forecasts to a random walk model or other models. 1. A. In this document, I discuss in detail how to estimate Markov regime switching models with an example based on a US stock market index. See for example Kole and Dijk () for an application.

Section 6 presents the Markov switching model of conditional variance. Section 7 is an empirical analysis of Taiwan’s short term interest rates. Section 8 concludes this note. Readers may also consult Hamilton () for a concise treatment of the Markov.
