One of the early examples of stochastic volatility models is Clark [1973]. He suggested that asset price movements …) generally introduces stochastic volatility in the process of the state variable when recorded in calendar time. The paper …

This paper studies the conditions for aggregation, portfolio separation and effective completeness of competitive allocations in general equilibrium models with incomplete markets in which agents have general preference and endowment distributions. We show that these properties are distinct....

This paper investigates the importance of idiosyncratic consumption risk for the cross-sectional variation in average returns on stocks and bonds. If idiosyncratic consumption risk is not priced, the only pricing factor in a multiperiod economy is the rate of aggregate consumption growth. We...

This paper investigates the importance of market incompleteness by comparing the rates of risk aversion estimated from complete and incomplete markets environments. For the incomplete-markets case, we use consumption data for 50 U.S. states. While the use of state-level data is conceptually...
