Abstract

[eng] The capital asset pricing model for consumption cannot explain observed equity premiums unless disproportionate risk aversion coefficients are used. The equity premium puzzle has been attributed in particular to the time-separability of consumer preferences. This paper investigates empirically the model''s ability to solve the puzzle if it is assumed that consumer behaviour shows habit formation. By estimating the model’s parameters for the G7 countries, we show that a consumption model with habit formation is able to account for returns on financial assets while using more reasonable preference parameters. [fre] Le modèle d’évaluation des actifs financiers de consommation ne parvient pas à expliquer les primes de risque observées sur les actions sauf à considérer des coefficients d’aversion pour le risque démesurés. Cette énigme de la prime de risque a été attribuée notamment à la séparabilité temporelle des préférences des consommateurs. Cet article étudie empiriquement la capacité de ce modèle à résoudre cette énigme lorsque les comportements de consommation présentent des habitudes. À partir de l’estimation des paramètres du modèle pour les pays du G7, nous montrons que le modèle de consommation avec formation d’habitude peut rendre compte des rendements d’actifs financiers avec des paramètres de préférence plus raisonnables.
