In plete markets, the prices are the same for all investors. 如果信息是透明的,每個人都知道客觀概率,則 marginal utility growth should be the same for all investors ? If investors have the same homothetic utility function (for example, power utility), then consumption itself should move in lockstep. 11( ) ( )( ) ( )ijijttijttu c u cu c u c?? ???????11ijttijttcccc???? It means that shocks to consumption are perfectly correlated across individuals. ? It doesn’t say that expected consumption growth should be equal。 it says that consumption growth should be equal ex post. ? In a plete contingent claims market, all investors share all risks, so when any shock hits, it hits us all equally (after insurance payments). Paretooptimal risk sharing. ? Suppose a social planner wished to maximize everyone’s utility given the available resources.

This simple fact has profound implications: It shows you why only aggregate shocks should matter for risk prices. Any idiosyncratic ine risk will be equally shared, and so 1/N of it bees an aggregate shock. Then the stochastic discount factors m that determine asset prices are no lo
