Pricing Indefinitely Lived Assets: Experimental Evidence
实验发现无限期存续资产的市场交易价格平均仅为风险中性基础价值的40%，并利用Epstein-Zin递归偏好模型结合概率加权或异质风险态度解释了这一低价现象。
We study indefinitely lived assets in experimental markets and find that the traded prices of these assets are on average about 40% of the risk-neutral fundamental value. Neither uncertainty about the value of total dividend payments nor horizon uncertainty about the duration of trade can account for this low traded price. An Epstein-Zin recursive preference specification that models the dynamic realization of dividend payments, combined with either probability weighting or subjects’ heterogeneous risk attitudes, can rationalize the low traded prices observed in our indefinitely lived asset market.
