摘要
The behavior of emerging market returns differs sharply from the behavior of developed equity market returns. While forecasts of expected returns and volatilities in emerging markets have been extensively studied, the authors focus primarily on skewness and kurtosis. They examine whether these moments have changed over time and what drives their cross-sectional variation. Finally, they detail the implications for asset allocation.
