There is one period. Assume a representative agent with utility function U(ct) = αc_t − βc^2_tassume the following: α = 100, β = 1, and δ = 0.97. Consumption at t = 0 is C0 = 24. At t = 1 one of two states θ1 and θ2 eventuate with probability π1 = 0.5, and π2 = 0.5,respectively. There are two complex securities s^1 and s^2.s^1 has a payoff of 23 in θ1 and 27 in θ2.s^2 has a payoff of 20 in θ1 and 32 in θ2.What is the stochastic discount factor mt+1? hint: Recall mt+1 =δU′(ct+1)/U′(ct)
E(FAssume that using the Security Market Line (SML) the required rate of return (RA) on stock A is found to be half of the required return (Rs) on stock B.
