Abstract:
This study finds time-varying risk premia for Shanghai and Shenzhen composite indices and T-bills in China. We use Bollerslev, Engle, and Wooldridge’s (1988) multivariate GARCH in mean to estimate the time-varying risk premium. Comparing to the findings in developed countries, our results show that Chinese investors are less risk averse. The equity index premium is quite volatile in the period from 2007 to 2009.
