报告摘要：

This paper shows that once the Epstein-Zin recursive preference is assumed in a representative agent model, the market index option prices largely reveal the market subjective beliefs about the distribution of consumption growth and, thus, impose strong restrictions on the specification of consumption growth risk. The asset pricing with this option-implied consumption growth solves the equity premium puzzle, and the option-implied equity premium predicts the future market returns. The equilibrium risk-free rate not only matches the sample moments but also is highly correlated with the data. The model-implied market conditional volatility not only matches the sample volatility on average but also predicts the future volatility. Finally, the model captures the dynamics of dividend-price ratio and necessarily explains any asset pricing puzzles in the options market.
