We explore whether the pattern of international equity returns, equity portfolio flows, and exchange rate returns are consistent with the hypothesis that (unhedged) global investors rebalance their portfolio in order to limit their exchange rate exposure when there are (1) relative equity return and (2) exchange rate shocks. We also explore whether (3) equity flow shocks influence the exchange ...

There is a longstanding puzzle concerned with the existence of Õp − planes with p ≥ 6, which are orientifold p-planes of negative charge with stuck Dp-branes. We study the consistency of configurations with various orientifold planes and propose a resolution to this puzzle. It is argued that Õ6 − -planes are possible in massive IIA theory with odd cosmological constant, while Õ7 − -planes and Õ...
