A note on heterogeneous beliefs with CRRA utilities
نویسنده
چکیده
This note will extend the research presented in Brown & Rogers (2009) to the case of CRRA agents. We consider the model outlined in that paper in which agents had diverse beliefs about the dividends produced by a risky asset. We now assume that the agents all have CRRA utility, with some integer coefficient of relative risk aversion. This is a generalisation of Brown & Rogers (2009) which considered logarithmic agents. We derive expressions for the state price density, riskless rate, stock price and wealths of the agents. This sheds light on the effects of risk aversion in an equilibrium with diverse beliefs.

Consensus Investor and Intertemporal Asset Pricing with Heterogeneous Beliefs
This paper considers an intertemporal capital market with an arbitrary number of heterogeneous belief investors who maximise the expected utilities of their terminal wealths under their subject beliefs. By aggregating the heterogeneous beliefs of the investors, a consensus investor is constructed to characterise the market equilibrium under the heterogeneous beliefs. Applying this idea to logar...
متن کاملTestable Implications of Translation Invariance and Homotheticity: Variational, Maxmin, CARA and CRRA preferences
We describe the observable content of some of the most widely used models of decision under uncertainty: models of translation invariant preferences. In particular, we characterize the models of variational, maxmin, CARA and CRRA utilities. In each case we present a revealed preference axiom that is satisfied by a dataset if and only if the dataset is consistent with the corresponding utility r...
متن کاملDynamic Principal-Agent Problems
We consider a continuous-time setting, in which the agent can control both the drift and the volatility of the underlying process. The principal can observe the agent’s action and can offer payment at a continuous rate, as well as a bulk payment at the end of the fixed time horizon. In examples, we show that if the principal and the agent have the same CRRA utility, or they both have (possibly ...
متن کاملBetting Strategies, Market Selection, and the Wisdom of Crowds
We investigate the limiting behavior of trader wealth and prices in a simple prediction market with a finite set of participants having heterogeneous beliefs. Traders bet repeatedly on the outcome of a binary event with fixed Bernoulli success probability. A class of strategies, including (fractional) Kelly betting and constant relative risk aversion (CRRA) are considered. We show that when tra...
متن کاملSpeculative Trade under Ambiguity ∗ Jan
Ambiguous beliefs may lead to speculative trade and speculative bubbles. We demonstrate this by showing that the classical Harrison and Kreps (1978) example of speculative trade among agents with heterogeneous beliefs can be replicated with agents having common ambiguous beliefs. More precisely, we show that the same asset prices and pattern of trade can be obtained in equilibrium with agents’ ...
