Risk, Uncertainty, and Asset-Pricing Puzzles
In conventional rational expectations expositions of the equity premium puzzle, riskfree rate puzzle, and variability mismatch puzzle,the subjective distribution of future growth rates is essentially made to mimic its past sample moments. This paper shows that the unobservable nature of structural growth parameters adds to expectation beliefs a permanent thick-tailed background layer of u...
متن کاملDefault Risk, Asset Pricing and Equity Premium∗
The evaluation and control of an agent‘s debt has become a major issue in economics. In this paper we focus on firms and study credit risk, debt control and asset valuation of firms. We demonstrate that firm specific credit constraints and endogenous risk premia, based on collateralized borrowing, affect the asset value of the firm and, in turn, the collateral value of the firm. In order to exp...
متن کاملDefault Risk, Asset Pricing and Debt Control
The pricing and control of firms’ debt has become a major issue since Merton’s (1974) seminal paper. Yet, Merton as well as other recent theories presume that the asset value of the firm is independent of the debt of the firm. However, when using debt finance firms may have to pay a premium for an idiosyncratic default risk and may face debt constraints. We demonstrate that firm specific debt c...
متن کاملAsset pricing puzzles explained by incomplete
We examine a class of Brownian based models which produce tractable incomplete equilibria. The models are based on finitely many investors with heterogeneous exponential utilities over intermediate consumption who receive partially unspanned income. The investors can trade continuously on a finite time interval in a money market account as well as a risky security. Besides establishing the exis...
متن کاملAsset pricing puzzles: Evidence from options markets
This paper examines the relationship between consumption-based and option-based risk-neutral moments, providing a technique to explore consumption-based pricing kernel specifications using data from the options markets. Estimators for average risk-neutral moments of each type are proposed and implemented. Option-based average risk-neutral moments are estimated for S&P500 returns using S&P500 fu...
