Disagreement, correlation and asset prices

Author

Abstract

When people agree to disagree, how does the disagreement affect asset prices? Within an equilibrium framework with two agents, two risky assets and a riskless bond, we analyze the joint impact of disagreement about expected payoff, variance and correlation, and compare prices with benchmark prices in a market with homogeneous beliefs.
