Ambiguity, Long-Run Risks, and Asset Prices
I generalize the long-run risks (LRR) model of Bansal and Yaron (2004) by incorporatingrecursive smooth ambiguity aversion preferences from Klibanoff et al. (2005, 2009) and time-varyingambiguity. Relative to the Bansal-Yaron model, the generalized LRR model is as tractable but moreflexible due to its separation of ambiguity aversion from both risk aversion and the intertemporalelasticity of substitution. This three-way separation allows the model to further account for thevariance premium puzzle besides the puzzles of the equity premium, the risk-free rate, and the returnpredictability. ...
