Published / Preprint: Positive Eigenfunctions of Markovian Pricing Operators: Hansen-Scheinkman Factorization and Ross Recovery. (arXiv:1411.3075v1 [q-fin.MF])

Posted: 12 Nov 2014 05:38 PM PST

This paper studies Markovian asset pricing models where the underlying economic uncertainty follows a continuous-time Markov process X with a general state space (namely, a Borel right process (BRP)) and the pricing kernel (stochastic discount factor, state-price density) is a positive semimartingale multiplicative functional of X. We establish uniqueness of a positive eigenfunction of the...

This paper extends the long-term factorization of the pricing kernel due to Alvarez and Jermann (2005) in discrete time ergodic environments and Hansen and Scheinkman (2009) in continuous ergodic Markovian environments to general semimartingale environments, without assuming the Markov property. An explicit and easy to verify sufficient condition is given that guarantees convergence in Emery's...
