Information Aggregation in Common Value Asset Markets and the Efficient Markets Hypothesis
This paper studies information aggregation in pure common value double auctions with a continuum of traders. This trade environment captures some of the main features of prediction markets. The population includes both sophisticated and näıve traders whose bidding behavior is not influenced by opponents’ equilibrium strategies. Existence and uniqueness of monotone equilibrium prices is shown un...
متن کاملAsset Pricing Under Asymmetric Information About Distribution of Risk Aversion∗
We study a dynamic competitive equilibrium model with asymmetric information about time-variant aggregate risk aversion. We show that there still exists a linear price function in out model, a nice result in the other asymmetric information competitive equilibrium models. Furthermore, we show that in our model, asymmetric information play a role in the long run risk premium. When the proportion...
متن کاملCognitive Biases, Ambiguity Aversion and Asset Pricing in Financial Markets∗
The behavior of agents in financial markets often displays biases or errors; for example, agents frequently do not compute probabilities correctly. However, we argue that these biases/errors are not always reflected in prices. In particular, we hypothesize that agents who make errors in computing probabilities lose confidence in their probability estimates when they face market prices that are ...
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 کاملDynamic Asset Allocation and Downside-Risk Aversion
This paper considers dynamic asset allocation in a mean versus downside-risk framework. We derive closed-form solutions for the optimal portfolio weights when returns are lognormally distributed. Moreover, we study the impact of skewed and fat-tailed return distributions. We nd that the optimal fraction invested in stocks is V-shaped: at low and high levels of wealth the investor increases the ...
