Previous attempts to estimate the long-run risk (LRR) model revealed serious methodological issues and low estimation precision of the existing econometric approaches. However, this study shows that despite the presence of latent variables asymptotically efficient maximum likelihood (ML)...

The long-run consumption risk (LRR) model is a convincing approach towards resolving prominent asset pricing puzzles. Whilst the simulated method of moments (SMM) provides a natural framework to estimate its deep parameters, caveats concern model solubility and weak identification. We propose a...

This paper aims at a critical assessment of the DSGE asset pricing approach. By employing partial indirect inference, we acknowledge that parts of a model are misspecified, while others retain the claim to capture economic reality, namely the ability to price assets traded in real markets....
