Asset Prices with Locally-Constrained Entropy Recursive Multiple Priors Utility

Sbuelz, Alessandro; Trojani, Fabio - Institut für Schweizerisches Bankwesen <Zürich> - 2007

Control problems with Recursive Multiple-Priors Utility (RMPU) are highly non-linear so that RMPU asset prices have been studied in very simple exchange economies only. We identify a continuous-time exchange equilibrium with Locally-Constrained-Entropy RMPU (LCE-RMPU) that is tractable even in...
