Implications for Asset Pricing Puzzles of a Roll‐over Assumption for the Risk‐Free Asset*
TLDR
In this paper, the authors considered the long-term consumption growth rate and the risk-free rate in the context of cash equivalents as a multi-period investment strategy that hedges against adverse growth rate outcomes.Abstract:
The equity risk premium and risk-free rate puzzles are largely resolved by combining persistent uncertainty over the long-term consumption growth rate with analysis of the risk-free asset on a ‘roll-over’ basis. Under these conditions, cash equivalents are evaluated as a multi-period investment strategy that hedges against adverse growth rate outcomes. The premium on the risky asset is raised and the risk-free rate lowered due to their respective relation with multi-period consumption risk. Historical average asset returns are matched at plausible risk aversion.read more

TL;DR: In this article, an intertemporal model for the capital market is deduced from portfolio selection behavior by an arbitrary number of investors who aot so as to maximize the expected utility of lifetime consumption and who can trade continuously in time.

THE EQUITY PREMIUM A Puzzle

TL;DR: This paper showed that an equilibrium model which is not an Arrow-Debreu economy will be the one that simultaneously rationalizes both historically observed large average equity return and the small average risk-free return.

Substitution, Risk Aversion, and the Temporal Behavior of Consumption and Asset Returns: A Theoretical Framework
Larry G. Epstein,Stanley E. Zin +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a class of recursive, but not necessarily expected utility, preferences over intertemporal consumption lotteries is developed, which allows risk attitudes to be disentangled from the degree of inter-temporal substitutability, leading to a model of asset returns in which appropriate versions of both the atemporal CAPM and the inter-time consumption-CAPM are nested as special cases.
