Incomplete Markets and Security Prices: Do Asset-Pricing Puzzles Result from Aggregation Problems?
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper investigates Euler equations involving security prices and household-level consumption data. It provides a useful complement to many existing studies of consumptionbased asset pricing models that use a representative-agent framework, because the Euler equations under investigation hold even if markets are incomplete. It also provides a useful complement to simulation-based studies of market incompleteness. The empirical evidence indicates that the theory is rejected by the data along several dimensions. The results therefore indicate that some well-documented asset-pricing puzzles do not result from aggregation problems for the preferences under investigation.

Asset pricing puzzles explained by incomplete Brownian equilibria
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 کاملAn Introduction to General Equilibrium with Incomplete Asset Markets*
The theory of general equilibrium with incomplete asset markets (GEI) studies the pricing of securities and commodities, and the interactions of perfectly competitive asset markets and commodity markets in determining consumption and investment. Since financial economics is fundamentally concerned with the pricing of securities, and since macroeconomics is fundamentally concerned with the real ...
متن کامل2 3 Ja n 20 07 Pricing Options in Incomplete Equity Markets via the Instantaneous Sharpe Ratio
Abstract: We develop a theory for pricing in incomplete equity markets by assuming that the investor issuing an unhedgeable derivative security requires compensation for this risk in the form of a pre-specified instantaneous Sharpe ratio. First, we apply our method to price options on non-traded assets for which there is a traded asset that is correlated to the non-traded asset. Second, we appl...
متن کاملValuing Real Options in Incomplete Markets
In this paper, we develop a framework for valuing real options and portfolios of real options in incomplete markets and show that it is a consistent generalization of contingent claims analysis, which is conventionally used for real option valuation in complete markets. The development of a framework for incomplete markets is motivated by the difficulty to construct replicating portfolios in pr...
