Equilibrium Alpha in Asset Pricing in an Ambiguity-averse Economy

Discussion papers from Graduate School of Economics , Kyoto University

Abstract: We derive an equilibrium asset pricing relation analogous to the cap-ital asset pricing model (CAPM) for investors whose preferences follow the robust mean-variance preferences introduced by Maccheroni, Mari-nacci, and Ru￠ no (2013). Our model de?nes a precise relation between the value of alpha from the market regression and ambiguity: alpha is positive if the asset has greater exposure to market ambiguity than market risk, and vice versa.
