The objective of this thesis is to develop an appropriately fitted asset pricing model that explicitly captures this salient feature of equity market returns, and that exploits the potential diversification benefits of emerging markets. we use a state-dependent Markov model, which distinguishes between high and low volatility states, to capture time-varying returns in emerging market equity indices. The model is then extended into global asset allocation.
