Abstract

This paper analyzes empirically the globalization of the Japanese equity market, based on the Kreps-Porteus preference model developed by Epstein (1988) and Epstein and Zin (1990, 1991). Empirical results show that the model performs well. The results are robust to the choice of the combination of assets and instruments.
