A model of dynamic equilibrium asset pricing with heterogeneous beliefs and extraneous risk
نویسنده
چکیده
We study equilibrium security price dynamics in an economy where nonfundamental risk arises from agents' heterogeneous beliefs about extraneous processes. We completely characterize equilibrium in terms of the economic primitives, via a representative agent with stochastic weights. Besides pricing fundamental risk, an agent now also prices nonfundamental risk with a market price which is a risk-tolerance weighted average of his extraneous disagreement with all remaining agents. Consequently, agents' perceived state prices and consumption are more volatile in the presence of extraneous risk. The interest rate inherits additional terms from: agents' misperceptions about consumption growth, and precautionary savings motives against the nonfundamental uncertainty.

Aggregation of Information and Beliefs: Asset Pricing Lessons from Prediction Markets
In a binary prediction market in which risk-neutral traders have heterogeneous prior beliefs and are allowed to invest a limited amount of money, the static rational expectations equilibrium price is demonstrated to underreact to information. This effect is consistent with a favorite-longshot bias, and is more pronounced when prior beliefs are more heterogeneous. Relaxing the assumptions of ris...
متن کاملExistence of Equilibrium and Zero-Beta Pricing Formula in the Capital Asset Pricing Model with Heterogeneous Beliefs
We study a mean-variance capital asset pricing model (CAPM) in which investors have different probability beliefs about assets returns and different attitudes towards risk, all assets are risky, short-selling is allowed and satiation is possible. First, we prove that there exists a competitive equilibrium in the model under a rather general condition. This condition indicates a simple relations...
متن کاملInvestigating the effect of herd behavior in the Iranian economy on the efficiency criteria of the asset pricing model
The capital asset pricing model provides an equilibrium model to show the relationship between risk and return on assets. One of the economic areas is herd behavior, which has attracted a lot of attention in recent decades. Therefore, the present study deals with the herd behavior in the Iranian economy on the efficiency criteria of the asset pricing model. The research method used in this rese...
متن کاملA Binomial Model of Asset and Option Pricing with Heterogeneous Beliefs
This paper provides a theoretical framework for pricing assets in a multiperiod economy with heterogeneous beliefs. The stock price dynamics follow a binomial lattice structure. Agents are allowed to differ in their beliefs of the probability and asset return in each state of nature. By constructing a consensus belief, we examine the impact of heterogeneous beliefs on market equilibrium. Static...
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...
