Abstract: | In conformity with the Savage model of decision-making, modern asset pricing theory assumes that agents' beliefs about the likelihoods of future states of the world may be represented by a probability measure. As a result, no meaningful distinction is allowed between risk, where probabilities are available to guide choice, and uncertainty, where information is too imprecise to be summarized adequately by probabilities. This paper provides a formal model of asset price determination in which Knightian uncertainty plays a role. |
