Abstract

We investigate the market selection hypothesis in a mean reverting environment. We consider three models varying the endowment process and agents’ beliefs and we show that with a constant relative risk aversion utility, controlling for the discount factor, agents with incorrect beliefs about the level of the endowment process cannot survive.
