Abstract: We prove the existence of a representative agent in an economy populated with investors who keep up with the Joneses and have heterogeneous portfolio endowments. This result is independent of the endowment distribution and robust to a more general definition of the Joneses. The implications for the home bias puzzle are discussed.
