Default Risk, Asset Pricing and Equity Premium∗
The evaluation and control of an agent‘s debt has become a major issue in economics. In this paper we focus on firms and study credit risk, debt control and asset valuation of firms.

In order to exp...
متن کاملThe equity premium puzzle and emotional asset pricing
Since the equity premium as well as the risk-free rate puzzle question the concepts central to financial and economic modeling, we apply behavioral decision theory to asset pricing in view of solving these puzzles.

متن کاملThe Equity Premium in Brock’s Asset Pricing Model ?
In this paper we combine dynamic programming methods with projection methods for solving stochastic growth models. As an application of these methods, we solve Brock’s asset pricing model with a variety of parameterizations. We focused on finding parameterizations that result in an equity premium that is high relative to the variation in consumption. We show (both analytically and numerically) ...
