论文摘要

我们研究代理具有不对称信息的连续时间经济。在零时,知情代理(``$ i $'')收到有关风险资产的终端回报$ψ(x_t)$的私人信号,而无知的代理(``$ u $'')没有私人信号。 $ψ$是一个任意的回报功能,$ x $遵循时间均匀的扩散。至关重要的是,我们允许$ u $拥有具有$(0,\ infty)$的通用公用事业功能的von Neumann-Morgenstern首选项,可满足标准条件。这扩展了先前的平衡结构,并在所有代理具有指数实用程序时使用的不对称信息,并使我们能够研究$ u $ u $的初始股票基金对平衡的影响。为了允许$ u $具有一般的首选项,我们引入了一种新方法来证明存在部分通信平衡(PCE),其中,在时间$ 0 $,$ u $收到的信号比$ i $少。在单一资产情况下,通过在任意短时间内查看平衡价格过程可以恢复该信号,因此PCE是动态嘈杂的合理期望平衡。最后,当$ u $具有功率(恒定的相对风险避免)实用程序时,我们确定了大小不一的风险规避限制的平衡价格。

We study a continuous time economy where agents have asymmetric information. The informed agent (``$I$''), at time zero, receives a private signal about the risky assets' terminal payoff $Ψ(X_T)$, while the uninformed agent (``$U$'') has no private signal. $Ψ$ is an arbitrary payoff function, and $X$ follows a time-homogeneous diffusion. Crucially, we allow $U$ to have von Neumann-Morgenstern preferences with a general utility function on $(0,\infty)$ satisfying the standard conditions. This extends previous constructions of equilibria with asymmetric information used when all agents have exponential utilities and enables us to study the impact of $U$'s initial share endowment on equilibrium. To allow for $U$ to have general preferences, we introduce a new method to prove existence of a partial communication equilibrium (PCE), where at time $0$, $U$ receives a less-informative signal than $I$. In the single asset case, this signal is recoverable by viewing the equilibrium price process over an arbitrarily short period of time, and hence the PCE is a dynamic noisy rational expectations equilibrium. Lastly, when $U$ has power (constant relative risk aversion) utility, we identify the equilibrium price in the small and large risk aversion limits.
