Consumption, Aggregate Wealth and Expected Stock Returns
This paper studies the role of detrended wealth in predicting stock returns. We call a transitory movement in wealth one that produces a deviation from its shared trend with consumption and labor income. Using U.S. quarterly stock market data we find that these trend deviations in wealth are strong predictors of both real stock returns and excess returns over a Treasury bill rate. We also find ...
متن کاملIncome and Wealth Heterogeneity, Portfolio Choice, and Equilibrium Asset Returns
We derive asset-pricing and portfolio-choice implications of a dynamic incomplete-markets model in which consumers are heterogeneous in several respects: labor income, asset wealth, and preferences. In contrast to earlier papers, we insist on at least roughly matching the model’s implications for heterogeneity—notably, the equilibrium distributions of income and wealth—with those in U.S. data. ...
متن کاملAsset Pricing and Wealth Distribution with Heterogeneous Investment Returns
I obtain a closed-form solution for a general equilibrium model with incomplete markets and heterogeneous agents that allow for an arbitrary number of assets, an arbitrary number of aggregate states, and arbitrary shock distributions for asset returns. Agent heterogeneity has non-trivial implications for asset prices and risk premia. In a stationary equilibrium the conditional distribution of c...
متن کاملAsset Prices and Monetary Policy: Wealth Effects on Consumption
The aim of this paper is to test a model explaining private consumption as a function of income and wealth (financial assets plus real estate), with data from European Union (EU) countries. We know that income explains a large part of consumption as well as wealth, but concerning the effects of the latter, mainly those of changes on financial asset prices, few is known for Europe. In a general ...
متن کاملConsumption and Expected Asset Returns without Assumptions About Unobservables
If asset returns are predictable, then rational expectations and the arithmetic of budget constraints together imply that these predictable changes in returns should affect current consumption. This paper presents a new framework linking consumption, income, and observable assets to expectations of future asset returns. Relative to previous work on this topic, the framework proposed in this pap...
