Risk Neutrality and the Two-Tier Foreign Exchange Market : Evidence from Belgium.

In this paper we develop and test a model of a utility maximizing representative agent operating in the Belgium-Luxembourg two-tier foreign exchange market. Our tests examine and fail to reject a risk neutral representative agent utility function. When we combine a risk neutral utility function with...
