Asset Return Dynamics Under Bad Environment-Good Environment FundamentalsGeert BekaertColumbia Business School - Finance and Economics; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) Eric EngstromU.S. Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System - Division of Research and Statistics, Capital Markets March 15, 2011 Abstract: We introduce a "bad environment-good environment" technology for consumption growth in a consumption-based asset pricing model. Using the preference structure from Campbell and Cochrane (1999), the model generates realistic time-varying volatility, skewness and kurtosis in fundamentals while still permitting closed-form solutions for asset prices. The model not only fits standard salient asset prices features including means and volatilities for equity returns and risk free rates, but also generates a realistic variance premium and option prices.
