A Monetary Explanation of the Equity Premium, Term Premium, and Risk-Free Rate Puzzles
构建并估计了一个货币模型，通过引入非货币资产在交易中的特殊作用，解释了低无风险利率、高股权溢价以及期限溢价随期限增加而上升等谜题，并与美国经济数据进行了比较。
This paper develops and estimates a monetary model that offers an explanation of some puzzling features of observed returns on equities and default-free bonds. The key feature of the model is that some assets other than money play a special role in facilitating transactions. The model is capable of producing a low risk-free rate, a high equity premium, and an average positive relationship between maturity and term premium for default-free bonds. The model's implications for the joint distribution of asset returns, velocity, inflation, money growth, and consumption growth are also compared to the behavior of these variables in the U.S. economy.
