Book Handbook on Systemic Risk

Download or read book Handbook on Systemic Risk written by Jean-Pierre Fouque and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-05-23 with total page 993 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Handbook on Systemic Risk, written by experts in the field, provides researchers with an introduction to the multifaceted aspects of systemic risks facing the global financial markets. The Handbook explores the multidisciplinary approaches to analyzing this risk, the data requirements for further research, and the recommendations being made to avert financial crisis. The Handbook is designed to encourage new researchers to investigate a topic with immense societal implications as well as to provide, for those already actively involved within their own academic discipline, an introduction to the research being undertaken in other disciplines. Each chapter in the Handbook will provide researchers with a superior introduction to the field and with references to more advanced research articles. It is the hope of the editors that this Handbook will stimulate greater interdisciplinary academic research on the critically important topic of systemic risk in the global financial markets.

Book Asset Pricing with Heterogeneous Beliefs

Download or read book Asset Pricing with Heterogeneous Beliefs written by Suleyman Basak and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article studies the dynamic behavior of security prices in the presence of investors' heterogeneous beliefs. We provide a tractable continuous-time pure-exchange model and highlight the mechanism through which investors' differences of opinion enter into security prices. In the determination of equilibrium, we employ a representative investor with stochastic weights and solve for all economic quantities in closed form, including the perceived market prices of risk and interest rate. The basic analysis is generalized to incorporate multiple sources of risk, disagreement about nonfundamentals, and multiple investors. Other applications involving multiple goods and nominal asset pricing within monetary economies are discussed.

Book A Behavioral Approach to Asset Pricing

Download or read book A Behavioral Approach to Asset Pricing written by Hersh Shefrin and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2008-05-19 with total page 636 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Behavioral finance is the study of how psychology affects financial decision making and financial markets. It is increasingly becoming the common way of understanding investor behavior and stock market activity. Incorporating the latest research and theory, Shefrin offers both a strong theory and efficient empirical tools that address derivatives, fixed income securities, mean-variance efficient portfolios, and the market portfolio. The book provides a series of examples to illustrate the theory. The second edition continues the tradition of the first edition by being the one and only book to focus completely on how behavioral finance principles affect asset pricing, now with its theory deepened and enriched by a plethora of research since the first edition

Book Consensus Consumer and Intertemporal Asset Pricing with Heterogeneous Beliefs

Download or read book Consensus Consumer and Intertemporal Asset Pricing with Heterogeneous Beliefs written by Elyes Jouini and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of the paper is to analyze the impact of heterogeneous beliefs in an otherwise standard competitive complete market economy. The construction of a consensus probability belief, as well as a consensus consumer, are shown to be valid modulo an aggregation bias, which takes the form of a discount factor. In classical cases, the consensus probability belief is a risk-tolerance weighted average of the individual beliefs, and the discount factor is proportional to the beliefs dispersion. This discount factor makes the heterogeneous beliefs setting fundamentally different from the homogeneous beliefs setting, and it is consistent with the interpretation of belief heterogeneity as a source of risk.We then use our construction to rewrite in a simple way the equilibrium characteristics (market price of risk, risk premium, risk-free rate) in a heterogeneous beliefs framework and to analyze the impact of belief heterogeneity. Finally, we show that it is possible to construct specific parametrizations of the heterogeneous beliefs model that lead to globally higher risk premia, lower risk-free rates, and risk premia that are lower for assets with higher belief dispersion.

Book Heterogeneous Beliefs and Asset Pricing in Discrete Time

Download or read book Heterogeneous Beliefs and Asset Pricing in Discrete Time written by Clotilde Napp and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of the paper is to analyze the impact of heterogeneous beliefs in an otherwise standard competitive complete markets discrete time economy. The construction of a consensus belief, as well as a consensus consumer are shown to be valid modulo a predictable aggregation bias, which takes the form of a discount factor. We use our construction of a consensus consumer to investigate the impact of beliefs heterogeneity on the CCAPM and on the expression of the risk free rate. We focus on the pessimism/doubt of the consensus consumer and we study their impact on the equilibrium characteristics (market price of risk, risk free rate). We finally analyze how pessimism and doubt at the aggregate level result from pessimism and doubt at the individual level.

Book Incomplete Information  Heterogeneous Beliefs and the Statistical Properties of Asset Prices

Download or read book Incomplete Information Heterogeneous Beliefs and the Statistical Properties of Asset Prices written by Tony Berrada and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I consider a pure exchange economy where the growth rate of aggregate consumption is mean reverting and unobservable. Agents have heterogenous beliefs which they continuously update. I study the properties of asset prices as they can be measured by an outside observer (objective probability). First, it is shown that under the objective probability, the market price of risk (Sharpe ratio) is larger than the complete information equivalent, if the agents with higher level of expectations about the growth rate also have higher level of conditional variances. I provide an analytical formula for the volatility of the stock price which identifies the respective contributions of information incompleteness and heterogeneity in beliefs. It is shown that the volatility can be higher or lower than the complete information case, depending on the parametrization. I found that a parametric specification which yields a high level of volatility necessarily implies a negative covariance of the stock return with the interest rate. Finally I discuss why asset returns appear predictable in the objective probability measure when agents rationally update their beliefs by taking into account the observable variations of the dividend.

Book Heterogeneous Beliefs and the Effect of Replicatable Options on Asset Prices

Download or read book Heterogeneous Beliefs and the Effect of Replicatable Options on Asset Prices written by Alan Kraus and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We present two ways in which trading in a replicatable option can affect the price process of the underlying asset. In the first situation, trading an option that each investor views as payoff-redundant breaks a non-fully-revealing equilibrium that exists when the option market is absent. The second situation involves a market that is dynamically complete without options but in which introducing an option market allows self-confirming conjectures of additional uncertainty about the future price of the underlying asset. Heterogeneous beliefs play important, though different, roles in both situations.

Book Essays on Asset Pricing with Heterogeneous Beliefs and Bounded Rational Investor

Download or read book Essays on Asset Pricing with Heterogeneous Beliefs and Bounded Rational Investor written by Lei Lu and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The thesis includes two essays on asset pricing. In the first essay, "Asset Pricing in a Monetary Economy with Heterogeneous Beliefs", we shed new light on the role of monetary policy in asset pricing by focusing on the case where investors have heterogeneous expectations about future monetary policy. Under heterogeneity in beliefs, investors place bets against each other on the evolution of money supply, and as a result, the sharing of wealth in the economy evolves stochastically over time, making money non-neutral. Employing a continuous-time, general equilibrium model, we establish these fluctuations to be rich in implications, in that they majorly affect the equilibrium prices of all assets, as well as inflation. In particular, we find that the stock market volatility may be significantly increased by the heterogeneity in beliefs, a conclusion supported by our empirical analysis. The second essay is titled with " Asset Pricing and Welfare Analysis with Bounded Rational Investors". Motivated by the fact that investors have limited ability and insufficient knowledge to process information, I model investors' bounded-rational behavior in processing information and study its implications on asset pricing. Bounded rational investors perceive "correlated" information (which consists of news that is correlated with fundamentals, but provides no information on them) as "fundamental" information. This generates "bounded rational risk". Asset prices and volatilities of asset returns are derived. Specially, the equity premium and the stock volatility are raised under some conditions. I also analyze the welfare impact of bounded rationality." --

Book Asset Prices with Heterogeneity in Preferences and Beliefs

Download or read book Asset Prices with Heterogeneity in Preferences and Beliefs written by Harjoat Singh Bhamra and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper, we study asset prices in a dynamic, continuous-time, general-equilibrium endowment economy where agents have ldquo;catching up with the Jonesesrdquo; utility functions and differ with respect to their beliefs (because of differences in priors) and their preference parameters for time discount, risk aversion, and sensitivity to habit. A key contribution of our paper is to demonstrate how one can obtain a closed-form solution to the consumption-sharing rule for agents who have both heterogeneous priors and heterogeneous preferences without restricting the risk aversion of the two agents to special values. We solve in closed form also for the the state-price density, the riskless interest rate and market price of risk; the stock price, equity risk premium, and volatility of stock returns; the term structure of interest rates; and the conditions necessary to obtain a stationary equilibrium in which both agents survive in the long run. The methodology we develop is sufficiently general that, as long as markets are complete, it can be used to obtain the sharing rule and state prices for models set in discrete or continuous time and for arbitrary endowment and belief updating processes.
