A Critique of Stochastic Discount Factor Methodology
The stochastic discount factor (SDF) methodology is becoming quite popular in recent empirical asset pricing studies. It appears that this new methodology, as claimed, is going to replace traditional methodologies. In this paper, we point out that, because the current practice of the stochastic discount factor methodology ignores a fully specified model for asset returns, it suffers from two po...
متن کاملStochastic Discount Factor Bounds with Conditioning Information
Hansen and Jagannathan (HJ, 1991) describe restrictions on the volatility of stochastic discount factors (SDFs) that price a given set of asset returns. This paper compares the sampling properties of different versions of HJ bounds that use conditioning information in the form of a given set of lagged instruments. HJ describe one way to use conditioning information. Their approach is to multipl...
متن کاملHedge Fund Performance Evaluation under the Stochastic Discount Factor Framework
We study hedge fund performance evaluation under the stochastic discount factor framework of Farnsworth, Ferson, Jackson, and Todd (FFJT). To accommodate dynamic trading strategies and derivatives used by hedge funds, we extend FFJT’s approach by considering models with option and time-averaged risk factors and incorporating option returns in model estimation. A wide range of models yield simil...
متن کاملThe Neuroeconomics of Financial Decisions and the Stochastic Discount Factor
This essay argues that neuroeconomic research on financial decisions should attempt to focus on standard models that relate to the behavior being studied. It particular, it argues that a key organizing concept for such research should be the stochastic discount factor. Focusing on such models will help to focus the research as well as suggest profitable extensions of the research. The improved ...
متن کاملA New Variance Bound on the Stochastic Discount Factor*
Hansen and Jagannathan (1991) provide a lower bound on the variance of a stochastic discount factor (SDF). As many asset pricing models can be represented by using an SDF (see, e.g., Cochrane [2001] and references therein), this bound became instantly known as the Hansen-Jagannathan bound and has been applied widely in a variety of finance problems. On developing related bounds, Snow (1991) der...
