Investment Horizons and Asset Prices Under Asymmetric Information

Abstract: I study a fully dynamic rational expectations economy with asymmetric information, where agents have finite investment horizons; T. Horizons affects asset prices through two key mechanisms: as T increases, 1) the age-adjusted risk aversion of the average investor falls, and 2) the risk transfer from forced liquidators into voluntary buyers drops. There are typically two equilibria: a stable equilibrium in which higher T lowers price volatility, and an unstable one with the opposite properties. Moreover, equili… Show more

“…Du¢ e and Strulovici (2012) present a model of the movement of capital across two partially segmented markets, but their focus is on the endogenous speed of capital mobility, which we take as exogenous.3 Thus, many of the technical issues that we must address are foreshadowed in this literature, including De Long,Shleifer, Summers, and Waldmann (1990),Spiegel (1998),Bacchetta and van Wincoop (2010),Watanabe (2008), Banerjee (2011),Greenwood and Vayanos (2014), andAlbagli (2015).…”

“…As noted by Spiegel (1998), in the larger-η equilibrium, we have η → ∞ (and thus Var t [P t+1 ] → ∞) when σ 2 s → 0; if σ 2 s = 0, then η explodes and the equilibrium is not defined. Also, as shown by Albagli (2015), the smaller-η equilibrium is more robust in that it can be supported even when the agents' time horizon is (infinitely) long, whereas the larger-η equilibrium vanishes when the horizon is long enough. 5.…”

“…The fourteenth paper in the symposium by Albagli [4] studies a dynamic infinite-horizon OLG economy in which asymmetrically informed investors with CARA preferences, a fraction of whom are informed and a fraction uninformed, live for a finite number of periods and face shocks to the supply of a risky asset. The paper studies the comparative statics of various properties of the equilibrium set with respect to the traders' life spans.…”

“…One area that we expect will continue to attract attention is the analysis of information acquisition and aggregation through prices in dynamic economies. Some of the papers in the symposium touch on this theme (e.g., Albagli [4], Duffie et al [51], Mäkinen and Ohl [79]). A lot remains to be done.…”
