This paper studies a dynamic equilibrium asset pricing model with managerial moral hazard. A representative, all-equity firm is owned by two separate types of constant absolute risk-aversion (CARA) investors---a large shareholder and a continuum of small shareholders.

One reported empirical result is anomalous. The valuation model establishes that the comparative static relation...

In this paper, we show that the widely used stationarity tests such as the Kwiatkowski Phillips, Schmidt, and Shin (KPSS) test have power close to size in the presence of time-varying unconditional variance. We propose a new test as a complement of the existing tests. Monte Carlo experiments...
