This paper studies alternative methods for estimating parameters from multiperiod conditional moment restrictions. The authors' discussion is couched in the context of a multivariate linear time series model and they use the log-linear intertemporal asset pricing model as a prototype when...

The authors investigate the small sample properties of three alternative generalized method of moments estimators of asset pricing models. The estimators that they consider include ones in which the weighting matrix is iterated to convergence and ones in which the weighting matrix is changed...

In this article we provide econometric tools for the evaluation of intertemporal asset pricing models using specification-error and volatility bounds. We formulate analog estimators of these bounds, give conditions for consistency, and derive the limiting distribution of these estimators. The...

We characterize and measure a long-term risk-return trade-off for the valuation of cash flows exposed to fluctuations in macroeconomic growth. This trade-off features risk prices of cash flows that are realized far into the future but continue to be reflected in asset values. We apply this...

The purpose of this paper is to investigate testable implications of equilibrium asset pricing models. The authors derive a general representation for asset prices that displays the role of conditioning information. This representation is then used to examine restrictions implied by asset...
