A Model of Intertemporal Asset Prices Under Asymmetric Information
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a dynamic asset-pricing model under asymmetric information. Investors have different information concerning the future growth rate of dividends. They rationally extract information from prices as well as dividends and maximize their expected utility. The model has a closed-form solution to the rational expectations equilibrium. We find that existence of uninformed investors increases the risk premium. Supply shocks can affect the risk premium only under asymmetric information. Information asymmetry among investors can increase price volatility and negative autocorrelation in returns. Less-informed investors may rztionally behave like price chasers.

From Ef cient Markets Theory to Behavioral Finance
A cademic nance has evolved a long way from the days when the ef cient markets theory was widely considered to be proved beyond doubt. Behavioral nance—that is, nance from a broader social science perspective including psychology and sociology—is now one of the most vital research programs, and it stands in sharp contradiction to much of ef cient markets theory. The ef cient markets th...
متن کاملLiquidity and Asset Returns Under Asymmetric Information and Imperfect Competition
We analyze how asymmetric information and imperfect competition affect liquidity and asset prices. Our model has three periods: agents are identical in the first, become heterogeneous and trade in the second, and consume asset payoffs in the third. We show that asymmetric information in the second period raises ex ante expected asset returns in the first, comparing both to the case where all pr...
متن کاملThe Skewness Premium and The Asymmetric Volatility Puzzle
This paper uses a general equilibrium model to study the source and reward of asymmetric volatility or skewness of market returns in an exchange economy. In particular, the dividend growth rate is modeled as a stochastic volatility process and the representative agent is characterized by Epstein-Zin preferences. The equilibrium equity premium, risk-free rate, and asymmetric volatility (measured...
متن کاملHigher moments portfolio Optimization with unequal weights based on Generalized Capital Asset pricing model with independent and identically asymmetric Power Distribution
The main criterion in investment decisions is to maximize the investors utility. Traditional capital asset pricing models cannot be used when asset returns do not follow a normal distribution. For this reason, we use capital asset pricing model with independent and identically asymmetric power distributed (CAPM-IIAPD) and capital asset pricing model with asymmetric independent and identically a...
متن کاملExperiments With The Lucas Asset Pricing Model
For over thirty years, the model of Lucas (1978) has been the platform of research on dynamic asset pricing and business cycles. This model restricts the intertemporal behavior of asset prices and ties those restrictions to cross-sectional behavior (the “equity premium”). The intertemporal restrictions reject the strictest interpretation of the Efficient Markets Hypothesis, namely, that prices ...
