Abstract

This paper studies the effects of multiple investment horizons and investors' bounded rationality on the price dynamics. We consider a pure exchange economy with one risky asset, populated with agents maximizing CRRA-type expected utility of wealth over discrete investment periods. An investor's demand for the risky asset may depend on the historical returns, so that our model encompasses a wide range of behaviorist patterns. The necessary conditions, under which the risky return can be a stationary iid process, are established. The compatibility of these conditions with different types of demand functions in the heterogeneous agents' framework are explored. We find that conditional volatility of returns cannot be constant in many generic situations, especially if agents with different investment horizons operate on the market. In the latter case the return process can display conditional heteroscedasticity, even if all investors are so-called "fundamentalists" and their demand for the risky asset is subject to exogenous iid shocks. We show that the heterogeneity of investment horizons can be a possible explanation of different stylized patterns in stock returns, in particular, mean-reversion and volatility clustering.
