convex dynamic risk measure generated by the solution of a backward stochastic differential equation. The agents are exposed … to financial and non-financial risk factors. They can hedge their financial risk in the stock market and trade a … structured derivative whose payoff depends on both financial and external risk factors. We prove an existence and uniqueness of …

This paper analyzes the welfare costs of business cycles when workers face uninsurable idiosyncratic labor income risk …. In accordance with the previous literature, this paper decomposes labor income risk into an aggregate and an … income risk. Using the multi-dimensional approach to idiosyncratic risk, this paper provides a general characterization of …

asymmetric risk premia over the business cycle. These (empirical) key features become relevant, and asset market implications …-form expressions for the risk premium in production economies. In contrast to endowment economies, the curvature of the policy … functions affects the risk premium through controlling the individual's effective risk aversion. …

labor market risk, infuences the degree of polarization in the wealth distribution, as poor agents in particular save more … if the income process is more volatile. With low risk, there are two distinct population groups: the poor and the rich …. There is no mobility between groups, and the wealth distribution is history dependent. With high risk, there is mobility …

This paper discusses a series of Monte Carlo experiments designed to evaluate the empirical properties of heterogeneous-agent macroeconomic models in the presence of sampling variability. The calibration procedure leads to the welfare analysis being conducted with the wrong parameters. The...

We study a strategic market game with finitely many traders, infinite horizon and real assets. To this standard framework (see, e.g. Giraud and Weyers, 2004) we add two key ingredients: First, default is allowed at equilibrium by means of some collateral requirement for financial assets; second,...

This paper argues that the introduction of a short-sale constraint in the Arrow-Radner frameworkinvalidates standard definitions of complete and incomplete markets. In this constrained set-up,two threshold values with familiar properties arise.The case of a zero short-sale bound set on some...

We prove that in smooth Markovian continuous-time economies with potentially complete asset markets, Radner equilibria with endogenously complete markets exist.
