A common prediction of macroeconomic models of credit market frictions is that the tightness of financial constraints is countercyclical. As a result, theory implies a negative collateralizability premium; that is, capital that can be used as collateral to relax financial constraints provides...

Heterogeneity and evolutionary behaviour of investors are two of the most important characteristics of financial markets. This papers incorporates the adaptive behavior of agents with heterogeneous beliefs and establishes an evolutionary capital asset pricing model (ECAPM) within the...

This paper studies the quantitative asset pricing implications of financial intermediary which faces an endogenous leverage constraint. I use a recursive method to construct the global solution that accounts for occasionally binding constraint. Quantitatively, the model generates a high and...

We model investment options as intangible capital in a production economy in which younger vintages of assets in place have lower exposure to aggregate productivity risk. In equilibrium, physical capital requires a substantially higher expected return than intangible capital. Quantitatively, our...
