Gersbach, Hans; Haller, Hans; Müller, Jürg - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2013

We examine the validity of a macroeconomic version of the Modigliani-Miller theorem. For this purpose, we develop a general equilibrium model with two production sectors, risk-averse households and financial intermediation by banks. Banks are funded by deposits and (outside) equity and monitor...

The Wealth-Consumption Ratio

Lustig, Hanno; van Nieuwerburgh, Stijn; Verdelhan, Adrien - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2012

We derive new estimates of total wealth, the returns on total wealth, and the wealth effect on consumption. We estimate the prices of aggregate risk from bond yields and stock returns using a no-arbitrage model. Using these risk prices, we compute total wealth as the price of a claim to...

Credit Risk and Dynamic Capital Structure Choice

Dangl, Thomas; Zechner, Josef - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2003

This Paper analyses the effect of dynamic capital structure adjustments on credit risk. Firms may optimally adjust their leverage in response to stochastic changes in firm value. It is shown that capital structure dynamics lower optimal initial leverage ratios but increase both fair credit...

Labour Contracts, Operating Leverage and Asset Pricing

Danthine, Jean-Pierre; Donaldson, John B - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1996

This paper studies the pricing of financial assets in a complete general equilibrium set-up. We begin with an asset pricing model à la Lucas grafted on a standard Real Business Cycles model. We provide a new decentralized interpretation of such a model in which firms make meaningful investment...

A General Approach to Recovering Market Expectations from Futures Prices With an Application to Crude Oil

Baumeister, Christiane; Kilian, Lutz - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2014

Futures markets are a potentially valuable source of information about market expectations. Exploiting this information has proved difficult in practice, because the presence of a timevarying risk premium often renders the futures price a poor measure of the market expectation of the price of...

Valuation Risk and Asset Pricing

Albuquerque, Rui; Eichenbaum, Martin; Rebelo, Sérgio - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2012

Standard representative-agent models have difficulty in accounting for the weak correlation between stock returns and measurable fundamentals, such as consumption and output growth. This failing underlies virtually all modern asset-pricing puzzles. The correlation puzzle arises because these...

Sovereign Risk, Fiscal Policy, and Macroeconomic Stability

Corsetti, Giancarlo; Kuester, Keith; Meier, André; … - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2012

This paper analyzes the impact of strained government finances on macroeconomic stability and the transmission of fiscal policy. Using a variant of the model by Curdia and Woodford (2009), we study a 'sovereign risk channel' through which sovereign default risk raises funding costs in the...

Sovereign risk and belief-driven fluctuations in the euro area

Corsetti, Giancarlo; Kuester, Keith; Meier, André; … - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2013

Sovereign risk premia in several euro area countries have risen markedly since 2008, driving up credit spreads in the private sector as well. We propose a New Keynesian model of a two-region monetary union that accounts for this "sovereign risk channel." The model is calibrated to the euro area...

Moral Hazard and the US Stock Market: The Idea of a 'Greenspan Put'

Miller, Marcus; Weller, Paul; Zhang, Lei - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2001

The risk premium in the US stock market has fallen far below its historic level, which Shiller (2000) attributes to a bubble driven by psychological factors. As an alternative explanation, we point out that the observed risk premium may be reduced by one-sided intervention policy on the part of...
