We generalize the long-run risks (LRR) model in Bansal and Yaron (2004) by incorporating the recursive smooth ambiguity aversion preferences of Klibanoff, Marinacci, and Mukerji (2005, 2009) and time-varying ambiguity. Relative to the Bansal-Yaron model, the generalized LRR model remains...

This paper deals with the use of the CAPM for capital budgeting purposes. Four different measures are deductively drawn from this model: the disequilibrium Net Present Value, the equilibrium Net Present Value, the disequilibrium Net Future Value, the equilibrium Net Future Value. While all of...

We study how the interaction of agents with different beliefs about a firm’s future cash flows determines the jointbehavior of credit spreads, option implied volatilities, and stock returns. Beliefs heterogeneity influences the pricing kernelin a way that supports more realistic credit spreads...

We study the existence of dynamic equilibria with endogenously complete markets incontinuous-time, heterogenous agents economies driven by diusion processes. Ourmain results show that under appropriate conditions on the transition density ofthe state variables, market completeness can be deduced...

We consider dynamic sublinear expectations (i.e., time-consistent coherent risk measures) whose scenario sets consist of singular measures corresponding to a general form of volatility uncertainty. We derive a càdlàg nonlinear martingale which is also the value process of a superhedging...

This article investigates the pricing of volatility risk in agricultural commodity markets. We show theoretically that the cost of bearing volatility risk can be measured using returns to delta-neutral straddles. Using a sample of options for five commodities (corn, soybeans, Chicago wheat, live...

We analyze the joint cross-section of monthly S&P500 stock index options and monthly CBOE Volatility Index options by constructing and evaluating option combinations that appear undervalued for all permissible values of the latent parameters of the unifying option pricing model and the joint...
