101 Applications Risk Aversion (continued) Consumption (continued) What is alpha? How does one find it? Article by R. Rajan Possible answers: Arbitrage? Find negative implied state prices? A good deal? Find positive state prices that represent compensation for risks that you don t care so much about. Necessarily implies incomplete markets. Changing the payoffs? e.g., a takeover changes the payoff matrix. Clientele effects? An illusion? Tail risk is beta, not alpha. 39 / 44
102 Risk Aversion Risk Aversion (continued) Consumption (continued) Decision-making under uncertainty Simplest model: Von-Neuman Morganstern expected utility maximization Useful but lots of limitations and/or inconsistencies with observed behavior For example, no sense of uncertainty about uncertainty. Example: valuing mortgages under various macro scenarios and then they trade at the minimum? Risk aversion Aversion to mean preserving spreads. People will pay to avoid them. This is the nature of insurance company profits. Tradeoff: risk vs. return in consumption units implied by no tradeoff in utility units. All this captured by concave utility over sure things. 40 / 44
103 Market Sentiment? q j = E(D j ) 1+i f Cov(r j,m)/e(m) Risk Aversion (continued) Consumption (continued) Sources of variation: Numerator: cash flow news Denominator: discount factor news (variation) 41 / 44
104 (continued) Risk Aversion (continued) Consumption (continued) Key distinction Was a big move in prices due to bad news or due to increased risk aversion? Answer is critical to money management, alpha... Why? Because increased risk aversion implies increased expected returns. Not necessarily so for bad news. Key tradeoff. Diminishing probability of increasingly ugly events vs. increasing marginal utility, conditional on those events occurring. Superficially similar to increased variance increases the downside, but also the upside. But substantively way different. 42 / 44
105 Consumption-Based Asset Pricing Risk Aversion (continued) Consumption (continued) State prices proportional to marginal utility What s random? Difference between known state-contingent variables and unknown state-contingent realizations? Key implication of state-contingent decision making. Recall the skiing story. Consider a state-contingent inventory problem: how much will I value a line-of-credit in the event that a supplier defaults on me? Risk inherent in the marginal utility of consumption. Euler equation: tradeoff marginal utility units today for expected (discounted) marginal utility units tomorrow. Applications of the Euler equation: Understanding portfolio choice Asset pricing: what are the risk factors? Those in the Euler equation! 43 / 44
106 (continued) Risk Aversion (continued) Consumption (continued) What determines interest rates? Inflation and real interest rates. What determines real interest rates? Puzzles Patience Productivity and consumption smoothing Precautionary savings and uncertainty Growth is high relative to observed real interest rates? Why? Why don t people try to smooth more, thereby driving up real rates? Is it the precautionary demand? Precaution against what? The black swan? Is stock market risk macroeconomic risk? No. Or, maybe there are macroeconomic black swans and by holding the stock market you risk getting hammered by one. How much do you care? Do you buy the calibration? 44 / 44
