The Equity Premium a Puzzle*
Restrictions that a class of general equilibrium models place upon the average returns of equity and Treasury bills are found to be strongly violated by the U.S. data in the 1889-1978 period. This result is robust to model specification and measurement problems. We conclude that, most likely, an equilibrium model which is not an Arrow-Debreu economy will be the one that Simultaneously rationali...
متن کاملDiscounting The Equity Premium Puzzle
Recent tests of stochastic dominance of several orders proposed by Linton, Maasoumi and Whang (2003) are applied to reexamine the equity premium puzzle. An advantage of this nonparametric framework is that it provides a means to assess whether the existence of a premium is due to particular cardinal choices of either the utility function or the underlying returns distribution, or both. The appr...
متن کاملThe Equity Premium Puzzle: Can Income Help?
In this paper we argue that implementing the income in the utility function can considerably contribute to the explanation of the equity premium puzzle. Macroeconomic data from developed and developing countries provides support to this idea. We propose a utility function that includes consumption, income and disentangles dividends as a specific form of income, and price assets using a consumpt...
متن کاملAnchoring Heuristic and the Equity Premium Puzzle
I model a scenario in which investors do not know the payoff distributions of relatively newer firms and use the payoff distribution of similar well-established firms as starting points. The starting distributions are then adjusted for size, volatility, and other differences. Anchoring bias (Tversky and Kahneman (1974)) implies that such adjustments typically fall short. I show that adjusting c...
متن کاملThe Equity Premium Puzzle and the Risk-free Rate Puzzle
This paper studies the implications for general equilibnum asset pricing of a class of Kreps-Porteus nonexpected utility preferences characterized by a constant intertemporal elasticity of substitution and a constant, but unrelated, coefficient of relative risk aversion. It is shown that relaxing the parametric restriction on tastes imposed by the time-additive expected utility specification do...
