摘要:
Cumulative
Prospect Theory (CPT) can explain the variance premium puzzle. We solve an
equilibrium model with CPT investors and find that probability weighting plays
a key role in generating a substantial variance premium, while loss aversion
captures the equity premium. Using GMM on a sample of U.S. equity and
index-option returns between 1996 and 2010, our estimates probability
distortion parameter implies that real-world investors in option markets
distort probabilities significantly, but less so than subjects in lab
experiments. In a dynamic setting, probability weighting and time-varying
equity return volatility combine to match the observed time-series pattern of
the variance premium.
