报告简介

In this paper, we examine limited participation and equilibrium pricing under ambiguity of correlation. In particular, we extend the one-period framework in Huang, Zhang and Zhu (2017) to continuous-time model in which we assume that the two risky assets follow Geometric Brownian Motion where a portion of the agents in the economy perceive the correlation of the risky assets as ambiguous. In this paper, we adopt HARA utility function from Karatzas, Lehoczky, Sethi, and Shreve (1986) to obtain demand function for sophisticated and naïve investors. Ambiguity of correlation generates four scenarios in the demand function. Under certain conditions, ambiguity-averse naïve investors rationally choose to limit participation so that they can avoid ambiguity of correlation. Their investment policy depends upon the parameters in stochastic differential equations for one riskless asset and two risky assets and is not time-varing (which is constant). Naïve investors trade both risky assets in the same direction as the sophisticated investors, but it is not necessarily true that they will hold more conservative positions.
