Growth Uncertainty, Generalized Disappointment Aversion and Production-based Asset Pricing
We study a production economy with regime switching in the conditional mean and volatility of productivity growth. The representative agent has generalized disappointment aversion (GDA) preferences. We show that volatility risk in productivity growth carries a positive and sizable risk premium in levered equity. Our model can endogenously generate long-run risks in the volatility of consumption...
متن کاملTemporal Risk Aversion and Asset Prices
Agents with standard, time-separable preferences do not care about the temporal distribution of risk. This is a strong assumption. For example, it seems plausible that a consumer may nd persistent shocks to consumption less desirable than uncorrelated uctuations. Such a consumer is said to exhibit temporal risk aversion. This paper examines the implications of temporal risk aversion for asset...
متن کاملLoss aversion, survival and asset prices
This paper studies the wealth and pricing implications of loss aversion in the presence of arbitrageurs with Epstein-Zin preferences. Our analysis shows that if loss aversion is the only difference in investors’ preferences, then for empirically relevant parameter values, loss-averse investors will be driven out of the market and do not affect long run prices. The selection process is slow in t...
متن کاملBelief-dependent Utilities, Aversion to State-Uncertainty and Asset Prices¤
This paper introduces the concepts of “belief dependent” utility functions and aversion to “state-uncertainty,” and it shows that these preferences help to explain both the unconditional and the conditional properties of asset returns. To solve for asset prices and returns under general conditions, the paper also develops a discretization methodology to obtain approximate analytical solutions. ...
متن کاملDoes ambiguity aversion reinforce risk aversion? Applications to portfolio choices and asset prices
It is often suggested that ambiguity aversion makes individuals more precautionary, thereby offering a potential explanation for the equity premium puzzle. We show that this is not true in general. We consider a model in which risk-and-ambiguity-averse agents can invest in an unambiguously safe asset and in an ambiguous risky asset. We exhibit some sufficient conditions to guarantee that, ceter...
