If investors have prospect theory
preferences, how often would they
have to evaluate their portfolios to
explain the equity premium?
Questions
• What evaluation period would make
  investors indifferent between stocks and
  bonds?

• For an investors with the evaluation
  period, what combination of stocks and
  bonds would maximize prospective utility?
First Simulation
• Samples of monthly returns (1926 – 1990)
  - Stocks, Bonds(5yrs) and T-bills

• Method
1. Ranking distribution of returns
2. Computing at twenty intervals
        prospective utility for the holding period
Results: Nominal returns

                   13 months
Results: Real returns



             11 months
Questions about the result
• Which aspects of prospect theory drive the
  results?
   - Loss aversion

• How sensitive are the results to alternative
  specifications?
   - Loss aversion factor of 2.77
Second Simulation
• Reliability check on the previous results
• Optimal mix of stocks and bonds

• Method:
  computing prospective utility of portfolio
  mix between 100% bonds and 100%
  stocks (in 10% increments)
Result
         On average,
         47% bonds
         & 53% stocks
Summary of two Simulations

• 1-year evaluation period
        Indifferent between stock and bond

• Key aspect: Loss aversion (2.77)
Third Simulation
• Theory = Loss aversion + Frequent evaluation

• Frequency of evaluation
  - can be altered
  - stocks become attractive as evaluation period
  increases

• By how much would the equilibrium equity
  premium fall if the evaluation period increased?
Result
  Actual equity premium
  (6.5%) is consistent with
  1-year evaluation period
Summary of last simulation
• 1-year evaluation period: actual equity
  premium

• 20-year horizon: indifferent between
  stocks and bonds

• Myopia makes potential rents
