| Abstract: | This paper investigates the empirical characteristics of investor risk aversion over equity return states by estimating a time-varying pricing kernel, which the authors call the empirical pricing kernel (EPK). The authors estimate the EPK on a monthly basis from 1991 to 1995, using S&P 500 index option data and a stochastic volatility model for the S&P 500 return process. The authors find that the EPK exhibits counter cyclical risk aversion over S&P 500 return states. The authors also find that hedging performance is significantly improved when the authors use hedge ratios based the EPK rather than a time-invariant pricing kernel. |
