Bayesian Estimation of Stochastic Discount Factors
随机贴现因子的贝叶斯估计
This article provides a Bayesian method of estimating the marginal posterior distributions for stochastic discount factors associated with observed asset returns. These estimates can be used to provide measures of fit for asset pricing models and to identify broad features of the characteristics that should be explained. These measures of fit can be used to supplement model evaluation exercises based on L. P. Hansen-R. Jagannathan bounds.
