We introduce a new class of flexible and tractable matrix a±ne jump-diffusions (AJD) to modelmultivariate sources of financial risk. We first provide a complete transform analysis of this model class,which opens a range of new potential applications to, e.g., multivariate option pricing with...

Prior laboratory experiments have studied general equilibrium economies constructed from “induced preferences” for artificial goods. We introduce new methods that allow us to study economies constructed instead from subjects' actual, “homegrown" preferences. Our subjects reveal their...

We provide theoretical and empirical arguments in favor of a concave shape for the security market line, or a diminishing marginal premium for market risk. In capital market equilibrium with binding portfolio restrictions, different investors generally hold different sets of risky securities....

This paper analyzes the persistency of the unequal exchange of labor (UE) in international trade. An intertemporal model of a world economy is defined with a leisure preference and no discount factor. Every incompletely specialized free trade equilibrium is characterized as having non-persistent...

We derive a general equilibrium linear relationship between the market prices of risks and market risk aversion under a continuous time stochastic volatility model completed by liquidly traded options. The relation is robust as it is valid for both endowment and production economies, and for...

This paper studies the asset pricing implications of a general equi-librium model in which real investment is reversible at a cost. Firmsface higher costs in contracting than in expanding their capital stockand decide to invest when their productive capital is scarce relativeto the overall...

Under the assumption of normally distributed returns, we analyzewhether the Cumulative Prospect Theory of Tversky and Kahneman (1992)is consistent with the Capital Asset Pricing Model. We find that in everyfinancial market equilibrium the Security Market Line Theorem holds.However, under the...

This article shows that, as long as agents are required to maintain positivewealth, the presence of portfolio constraints may give rise to asset pricingbubbles in equilibrium even if there are unconstrained agents in the economywho can benefit from the induced arbitrage opportunity. Furthermore,...
