Price Reaction to Information with Heterogeneous Beliefs and Wealth Effects: Underreaction, Momentum, and Reversal∗
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper analyzes how asset prices in a binary market react to information when traders have heterogeneous prior beliefs. We show that the competitive equilibrium price underreacts to information when there is a bound to the amount of money traders are allowed to invest. Underreaction is more pronounced when prior beliefs are more heterogeneous. Even in the absence of exogenous bounds on the amount traders can invest, prices underreact to information provided that traders become less risk averse as their wealth increases. In a dynamic setting, underreaction results in initial momentum and then reversal in the long run.

In this research, overreaction and underreaction have been studied by assessing profitability and excess returns of investment strategies and evaluating price adjustment speed in short and long terms. The results showed that the momentum investment strategies had higher annual returns in comparison to contrarian strategies in all short and long periods which led to confirmation of underreaction...
متن کاملAggregation 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 کاملAggregation of Information and Beliefs in Prediction Markets∗
We propose a simple model of prediction markets in which traders with heterogeneous prior beliefs and private information are allowed to risk a limited amount of money. For any given information realization, the equilibrium price can be interpreted as a posterior belief given a representative market prior belief. However, across information realizations, we show that this market prior belief is...
متن کاملModelling the Heterogeneous Price Setting Behavior of Firms (DSGE Approach)
Despite the empirical evidence of the difference in the degree of price stickiness of goods and services, in the new standard Keynesian models, the same price stickiness is considered for all firms producing intermediate goods. In recent years, a new generation of pricing models has been introduced to simulate the heterogeneous price setting behavior in which, unlike standard pricing models, th...
