Large Investors: Implications for Equilibrium Asset Returns, Shock Absorption, and Liquidity Preliminary and Incomplete
نویسنده
چکیده
The growing share of financial assets that are held and managed by large institutional investors whose trades move prices contradicts the traditional asset pricing paradigm which assumes markets are competitive with small price-taking players. This paper relaxes the traditional price-taking assumption and instead presents a dynamic multi-asset, multi-large participant model of imperfect competition in risky asset markets. Because of imperfect competition, some investors face imperfect market liquidity when rebalancing their portfolios. The paper examines how imperfect competition in asset markets affects equilibrium asset pricing, liquidity, shock absorption, and the transmission of shocks among assets. The paper also presents a framework for examining how news or rumors about some market participants financial distress affects equilibrium asset prices and market liquidity. A simulation analysis of the effects of news and rumors has yet to be completed.

Large Investors: Implications for Equilibrium Asset Returns, Shock Absorption, and Liquidity
We model illiquid asset markets where institutional investors account for their priceimpact when trading. The model explains why liquidity beta’s and market prices of liquidity-risk are time varying, and elevated during periods of market turbulence and heightened trading. We extend the distressed investor literature to a setting where all investors are optimizing, rational, and aware of distres...
متن کاملRandom Risk Aversion and Liquidity: a Model of Asset Pricing and Trade Volumes
Grossman, Campbell, and Wang (1993), and Pastor and Stambaugh (2003), among others present evidence that liquidity based on a measure of trading volume behaves as a factor in accounting for expected returns on risky assets. We present a tractable theoretical model where trade volume is a pricing factor, beyond the standard ones. In the model agents experience idiosyncratic shocks to risk aversi...
متن کاملLiquidity and Asset Prices in Rational Expectations Equilibrium with Ambiguous Information
The quality of information in financial asset markets is often hard to estimate. This paper analyzes information transmission in asset markets when agents treat information of unknown quality as ambiguous. We study the effects of information ambiguity on asset prices, trading volume, and market liquidity in noisy rational expectations equilibrium. We consider a market with risk-averse informed ...
متن کاملExtrapolative Beliefs in the Cross-section: What Can We Learn from the Crowds?∗
Using novel data from a crowdsourcing platform for ranking stocks, we investigate how individuals form expectations about future stock returns in the cross-section. In each contest on this platform, participants rank 10 stocks based on their perceived future performance of these stocks over the course of the contest (usually one week). We find that, when forming expectations, investors extrapol...
متن کاملAsset prices in general equilibrium with recursive utility and illiquidity induced by transactions costs
In this paper, we study the effect of proportional transaction costs on consumptionportfolio decisions and asset prices in a dynamic general equilibrium economy with a financial market that has a single-period bond and two risky stocks, one of which incurs the transaction cost. Our model has multiple investors with stochastic labor income, heterogeneous beliefs, and heterogeneous Epstein-Zin-We...
