Quantitative asset pricing implications of endogenous solvency constraints

Fernando Alvarez and Urban Jermann

No 99-5, Working Papers from Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia

Abstract: The authors study the asset pricing implications of an economy where solvency constraints are determined to efficiently deter agents from defaulting. The authors present a simple example for which efficient allocations and all equilibrium elements are characterized analytically. The main model produces large equity premia and risk premia for long-term bonds with low risk aversion and a plausibly calibrated income process. The authors characterize the deviations from independence of aggregate and individual income uncertainty that produce equity and term premia.
