Abstract
This paper proposes a two-good, two-country general equilibrium model with external habits and home-biased preferences that addresses a number of international …nance puzzles. Speci…cally, the model reconciles the high degree of international risk sharing implied by relatively smooth exchange rates with the modest cross-country consumption growth correlations seen in the data, resolving the Brandt, Cochrane and Santa-Clara (2006) puzzle. Furthermore, the model matches the empirically observed low correlation between exchange
