When is Market Incompleteness Irrelevant for the Price of Aggregate Risk (and when is it not)? Author info | Abstract | Publisher info | Download info | Related research | Statistics Dirk Krueger

Additional information is available for the following
registered author(s):
In a model with a large number of agents who have constant relative risk aversion (CRRA) preferences, market incompleteness has no effect on the premium for aggregate risk if the distribution of idiosyncratic risk is independent of aggregate shocks and aggregate consumption growth is distributed independently over time. In the equilibrium, which features trade and binding solvency constraints, as opposed to Constantinides and Duffie (1996), households only use the stock market to smooth consumption; there is no trade in bond markets. Furthermore, we show that the cross-sectional wealth and consumption distributions are not affected by aggregate shocks. These results hold regardless of the persistence of idiosyncratic shocks. A weaker irrelevance result survives when we allow for predictability in aggregate consumption growth.
