Quantifying inefficiency in incomplete asset markets∗
It is known that the incompleteness of asset markets causes inefficiency in almost every equilibrium. Yet unexplored is the ”size” of this inefficiency. The size of a Pareto improvement is the total willingness to pay for it, out of current consumption. Inefficiency is the maximum size of any Pareto improving reallocation. Inefficiency of US consumption in middle age is computed to be 10-11% of...
متن کاملConsumption-Based Asset Pricing with Incomplete Markets
This paper shows that consumption-based asset pricing theory imposes no testable restrictions on either macroeconomic or cross-sectional data if one allows for uninsurable idiosyncratic income shocks which are persistent and not normally distributed.

In particular, it assumes that two types of households can break their trading arrangements by going into financial autarky, in which case they are seized from any positive asset holdings and excluded from future asset trade forever. Since we sh...
