چکیده
We develop a two sector general equilibrium model with capital accumulation and convex adjustment costs. We use the model to study capital asset pricing and reallocation, as well as optimal consumption and investment decisions. With two sectors, the consumer balances diversification against the potential productivity and efficiency gains of investing more heavily in one sector. The general framework nests and extends standard equilibrium macro-asset pricing models. We show conditions under which aggregates are immune to the distribution of capital and in contrast, when the distribution becomes crucial for both sectoral and aggregate values. Applications of the framework highlight the importance of heterogeneity and capital liquidity the ability to reallocate capital for economic growth and asset pricing. Misallocated capital creates risk and reduces utility, but correcting it through capital reallocation reduces efficiency and growth. ∗We are grateful to Bob Hall (AEA discussant), Lu Zhang (AFA discussant), and seminar participants at Columbia, 2009 AEA, and 2010 AFA for insightful comments, and to Jinqiang Yang for exceptional research assistance. †Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University and NBER, Evanston, IL, USA.

متن کاملReallocating and pricing illiquid capital
Firm-level and sectoral heterogeneity is pervasive in data. Equilibrium models in macro and finance typically assume a representative firm, as in Cochrane (1991). This representative firm paradigm leaves no role for the distribution of capital. We jointly model capital reallocation and asset pricing in a general equilibrium model with two sectors. Existing multisector equilibrium models assume ...
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...

Implied trees in illiquid markets: A Choquet pricing approach
Implied trees are necessary to implement the risk neutral valuation approach and standard methodologies for their derivation are based on the validity of the Put Call Parity. However, in illiquid markets the Put Call Parity fails to hold and the uniqueness of the artificial probabilities leaves room to an interval. The contribution of this paper is twofold. First we propose a methodology for th...
