This paper suggests incorporating investor probability weighting and the default risk of individual firms into a consumption-based asset pricing model. The extended model provides a unified solution for several anomalous patterns observed on financial markets. The analysis addresses not only...

This paper examines the behavior of the market equilibrium in an endowment economy in continuous time, in which a representative investor with exponential utility consumes the dividends generated by multiple risky assets. The dividends are assumed to be mutually independent and belong to a class...

This research is aimed at examining the theoretical relations between expected option returns and a pricing kernel. Under mild assumptions, it is demonstrated that the condition of the tail of the pricing kernel slope characterizes the slope and curvature of the expected option returns. This...

While the proportional hazard model is recognized to be statistically meaningful for analyzing and estimating financial event risks, the existing literature that analytically deals with the valuation problems is very limited. In this paper, adopting the proportional hazard model in continuous...
