Implied Volatility and Risk Aversion in a Simple Model with Uncertain Growth

Lundtofte, Frederik LU (2010) In Economics Bulletin 30(1). p.182-191
Abstract
We show that a simple equilibrium model with uncertain growth is able to simultaneously generate patterns in implied volatility and risk aversion that are similar to the ones observed in the data. In addition, the model produces an implied pricing kernel that is increasing for particular levels of wealth.
