This article proposes the entropy of m2 (m is the stochastic discount factor) as a metric to evaluate asset-pricing models. We develop a bound on the entropy of m2 when m correctly prices a finite number of returns and consider models that pass the lower bound on m, yet fail the lower bound on m2. Interpreting our results, we elaborate on the distinction between the entropy of m2 versus the entropy of m. We further show that the entropy of m2 represents an upper bound on the expected excess (log) return of the security with the payoff of m.

In this paper a methodology to compare the performance of different stochastic discount factor (SDF) models is suggested. The starting point is the estimation of several factor models in which the choice of the fundamental factors comes from different procedures. Then, a Monte Carlo simulation is designed in order to simulate a set of gross returns with the objective of mimicking the temporal dependency and the observed covariance across gross returns. Finally, the artificial returns are used to investigate the performance of the competing asset pricing models through the Hansen and Jagannathan (1997) distance and some goodness-of-fit statistics of the pricing error. An empirical application is provided for the U.S. stock market.

This paper reviews literature on asset pricing and investor sentiment. It provides a fair accumulation of evidence with an objective of showing how productive has been the effort of modelling market sentiment in pricing assets. Research efforts in modelling non-standard investor behaviour have been successful in explaining aggregate predictability. However, despite the financial innovations and discussions on investor sentiment that happened in US markets, empirical work in emerging markets is still preliminary. The paper inquires the extent that the existing asset pricing models price the assets in the economy.KeywordsInvestor, Pricing, Returns, Sentiment
