Comparing Four Models of Aggregate Fluctuations due to Self-Fulfilling Expectations
This paper compares four equilibrium business cycle models with increasing returns to scale production technologies that allow for aggregate fluctuations due to self-fulfilling expectations. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of stationary sunspot equilibria are derived. Numerical examples demonstrate that the degree of increasing returns necessary for the existence of statio...
متن کاملAsset Pricing with Return Extrapolation∗
We develop a representative agent general equilibrium model with return extrapolation and recursive preferences. Our model is the first return extrapolation model that can be taken to the data in a serious way; it allows for detailed model calibration and direct comparisons with the leading rational expectations models of the stock market. The model matches investors’ extrapolative expectations...
متن کاملWhat to Expect when Everyone is Expecting: Self-Fulfilling Expectations and Asset-Pricing Puzzles
We construct equilibria of continuous-time, overlapping generations economies whereby interest rates and asset prices affect the distribution of wealth and consumption between existing and arriving cohorts of investors. Such economies are prone to self-fulfilling expectations and a multitude of equilibria; anticipations of future discount rates impact asset prices and the wealth distribution, c...
متن کاملBusiness-Cycle Pattern of Asset Returns: A General Equilibrium Explanation∗
I develop an analytical general-equilibrium model to explain economic sources of businesscycle pattern of aggregate stock market returns. With concave production functions and capital accumulation, a technology shock has a pro-cyclical direct effect and a counter-cyclical indirect effect on expected returns. The indirect effect, reflecting the “feedback” effect of consumers’ behavior on asset r...
متن کاملThe Integration of Multi-Factor Model of Capital Asset Pricing and Penalty Function for Stock Return Evaluation
One of the main concerns of investors is the evaluation of the return on investment, which is conducted using various models such as the CAPM (single-factor model), Fama-French three/five-factor models, and Roy and Shijin’s six-factor model and other models known as multi-factor models. Despite the widespread use of these models, their major drawbacks include sensitivity to unexpected changes, ...
