Asset Pricing with Limited Risk Sharing and Heterogeneous Agents
构建了一个不完全市场与异质性代理人模型,通过校准的生命周期收入过程,解释了高股权溢价、有限股市参与和资产持有模式,发现风险溢价主要由股东间风险分担不完全驱动,而非有限参与。
We develop a model with incomplete markets and heterogeneous agents that generates a large equity premium, while simultaneously matching stock market participation and individual asset holdings. The high risk-premium is driven by incomplete risk sharing among stockholders, which results from the combination of aggregate uncertainty, borrowing constraints, and a (realistically) calibrated life-cycle earnings profile subject to idiosyncratic shocks. We show that it is challenging to simultaneously match asset pricing moments and individual portfolio decisions, while limited participation has a negligible impact on the risk-premium, contrary to the results of models where it is imposed exogenously.
