This dissertation consists of two chapters. The first chapter empirically investigates how investors' subjective beliefs drive the cross-section of stock returns. Using a data set of real-time professional survey forecasts, I first estimate belief wedges, defined as the difference between the professional survey forecasts and the Factor-Augmented Vector Autoregression (FAVAR) model implied conditional rational forecasts. I then construct empirical measures of investors' subjective beliefs as latent factors from the estimated belief wedges. Next, I show that the subjective belief factors exhibit significant explanatory power with large, positive and highly significant coefficients for expected returns across eight stock portfolio groups separately and jointly. A trading strategy based on the subjective belief factor loading delivers a positive average return. Finally, a potential theoretical explanation for the origins of belief disparities is rendered based on the robust preference model.

520 $a This dissertation consists of two chapters. The first chapter empirically investigates how investors' subjective beliefs drive the cross-section of stock returns. Using a data set of real-time professional survey forecasts, I first estimate belief wedges, defined as the difference between the professional survey forecasts and the Factor-Augmented Vector Autoregression (FAVAR) model implied conditional rational forecasts. I then construct empirical measures of investors' subjective beliefs as latent factors from the estimated belief wedges. Next, I show that the subjective belief factors exhibit significant explanatory power with large, positive and highly significant coefficients for expected returns across eight stock portfolio groups separately and jointly. A trading strategy based on the subjective belief factor loading delivers a positive average return. Finally, a potential theoretical explanation for the origins of belief disparities is rendered based on the robust preference model.
520 $a The second chapter investigates whether consumption growth risk is responsible for accounting observed variations in the foreign currency markets? To address this question, I set up and estimate a regime-switching Markov process for consumption growth with unobservable states for G7 countries. Combining the estimated consumption process with the Epstein-Zin and Weil preference in a representative agent framework, I show that this simple model can match several salient features observed in the data: (1) the model generates the uncovered interest rate parity puzzle; (2) the model delivers a low correlation between the real exchange rates and consumption growth differentials; (3) the volatility of the real exchange rate generated by the model is similar to the magnitude of data. Overall, this paper provides evidence for a link between consumption growth risk and exchange rates.
