Portfolio choice and the implied asset pricing are usually derived assumingmaximization of expected utility. In this Paper, they are derived from risk-value models that generalize the Markowitz-model. We use a behaviourally-based risk measure with an endogenous or exogenous benchmark...

This paper studies the effects of investors’ heterogeneous beliefs on the trading volume,price volatility, and liquidity of stocks. Following Kurz and Motolese (2008), wepropose a simple theoretical model to show that the equilibrium stock price is linearlyand positively correlated with market...

We study survival, price impact and portfolio impact in heterogeneouseconomies. We show that, under the equilibrium risk-neutral measure,long-run price impact is in fact equivalent to survival, whereas longrunportfolio impact is equivalent to survival under an agent-specic,wealth-forward...

We provide a representation for the nonmyopic optimal portfolio of an agentconsuming only at the terminal horizon when the single state variable follows ageneral diusion process and the market consists of one risky asset and a risk-freeasset. The key term of our representation is a new object...

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 extend the Lucas asset pricing tree economy to a heterogeneous population.Perturbative methods are applied to explicitly calculate the secondorder response of asset returns to heterogeneity. We discover thatthere exists a unique "best homogeneous approximation" to a weakly...

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 prove that, in a heterogeneous economy with scale invariantutilities, the yield of a long term bond is determined by the agent with maximalexpected marginal utility.We also prove that the same result holds for the longterm forward rates.Furthermore, we apply Cramer’s large deviations...

We establish universal bounds for asset prices in heterogeneouscomplete market economies with scale invariant preferences. Namely, for eachagent in the economy we consider an artificial homogeneous economy, popu-lated solely by this agent and calculate the ”homogeneous” price of an asset...
