Abstract

We propose an efficient algorithm for computing the equilibrium of a capital asset pricing model with heterogeneous investors and short-sale constraints. We show that the equilibrium prices of the risky assets in the model are proportional to the Lagrangian multipliers of an equivalent dual formulation of the problem. Based on this observation, we derive sufficient conditions to guarantee the existence and uniqueness of equilibrium and prove the convergence of the algorithm. Numerical examples are also provided to illustrate the algorithm.
