Optimal Life-Cycle Asset Allocation with Housing as Collateral
We investigate a household’s asset allocation, housing, and mortgage decisions in a calibrated life-cycle model with costly stock market entry and participation and a risky housing market featuring housing adjustment costs, mortgage collateral borrowing requirement, refinancing charge, and default penalty. Our analysis demonstrates that a household’s liquid wealth is the most important determin...
متن کاملDynamic Asset Allocation and Downside-Risk Aversion
This paper considers dynamic asset allocation in a mean versus downside-risk framework. We derive closed-form solutions for the optimal portfolio weights when returns are lognormally distributed. Moreover, we study the impact of skewed and fat-tailed return distributions. We nd that the optimal fraction invested in stocks is V-shaped: at low and high levels of wealth the investor increases the ...
متن کاملAmbiguity , Learning , and Asset Returns ∗
We develop a consumption-based asset-pricing model in which the representative agent is ambiguous about the hidden state in consumption growth. He learns about the hidden state under ambiguity by observing past consumption data. His preferences are represented by the smooth ambiguity model axiomatized by Klibanoff et al. (2005, 2006). Unlike the standard Bayesian theory, this utility model impl...
متن کاملCognitive Biases, Ambiguity Aversion and Asset Pricing in Financial Markets∗
The behavior of agents in financial markets often displays biases or errors; for example, agents frequently do not compute probabilities correctly. However, we argue that these biases/errors are not always reflected in prices. In particular, we hypothesize that agents who make errors in computing probabilities lose confidence in their probability estimates when they face market prices that are ...
متن کاملAmbiguity and Ambiguity Aversion
Consider the following choice problem, known as “Ellsberg’s three-color urn example”, or simply the “Ellsberg Paradox” (Ellsberg [7]). An urn contains 30 red balls, and 60 green and blue balls, in unspecified proportions; subjects are asked to compare (i) a bet on a red draw vs. a bet on a green draw, and (ii) a bet on a red or blue draw vs. a bet on a green or blue draw. If the subject wins a ...
