Equilibrium Interest Rate and Liquidity Premium with Transaction Costs
In this paper we study the effects of transaction costs on asset prices. We assume an overlapping generations economy with two riskless assets. The first asset is liquid while the second asset carries proportional transaction costs. We show that agents buy the liquid asset for short-term investment and the illiquid asset for long-term investment. When transaction costs increase, the price of th...
متن کاملEquilibrium Equity Premium, and Interest Rate of a Large-Firm Economy in the Presence of Moral Hazard
We present an equilibrium model of a moral-hazard economy with a very large firm and financial markets, where a stock and bonds are traded. We show that optimal contracts necessitate the principal to forbid the agent to trade the stock, and that moral hazard problems can result in low interest rates and sometimes in high equity premium. We also obtain a number of striking results: the second be...
متن کاملEquilibrium Equity Premium, Interest Rate and the Cost of Capital in a Single-Firm Economy under Moral Hazard∗
We present an equilibrium model of a moral-hazard economy with one firm and financial markets, where a stock and bonds are traded. We show that it is optimal for the principal to forbid the agent to trade the stock; that the second-best interest rate is lower than the first-best interest rate; and that the second-best equity premium can be higher or lower than the first best equity premium. We ...
متن کاملAn Equity-Interest Rate hybrid model with Stochastic Volatility and the interest rate smile
We define an equity-interest rate hybrid model in which the equity part is driven by the Heston stochastic volatility [Hes93], and the interest rate (IR) is generated by the displaced-diffusion stochastic volatility Libor Market Model [AA02]. We assume a non-zero correlation between the main processes. By an appropriate change of measure the dimension of the corresponding pricing PDE can be gre...
متن کاملFear of model misspecification and the robustness premium ∗
Robust decision making implies welfare costs or robustness premia when the approximating model is the true data generating process. To examine the importance of these premia at the aggregate level we employ a simple two-sector dynamic general equilibrium model with human capital and introduce an additional form of precautionary behavior. The latter arises from the robust decision maker’s abilit...
