1. Capital Asset Pricing Model
What is it about?
Goal: to ”explain” the asset prices
Result: in equilibriumfor any risky asseti
E[ρi] − R = βi(E[ρm] − R)
whereρm is the return ofmarket portfolio
Consequence:separation theorem
Consequence:all agents have the samemarket portfolio, i.e. the same share of anyrisky asset among other risky assets
Model is equilibrium, static and ”homogeneous”

1.1. Assumptions
Market
• asset market is complete and competitive• assets are divisible• unlimited short sales are allowed• no taxes• no transaction costs
Agents’ Expectations
• homogeneous expectations: all agents share a common probability distribu-tion of returns for risky assets
• common investment planning horizon
Agents’ Behavior
• mean-variance utility functions express the preferences of investors• agents hold the portfolio during one period
Remark
Equilibrium structure is changing with
• information
• investors’ preferences
• investors’ endowments

1.2. Intertemporal CAPM
Contributions
• Merton, 1973
• LeRoy, 1973
• Lucas, 1978
Features
• endogenous expectations
• price function:asset price is a function of past realization of returns
• assumptions are even more restrictive
For exampleLeRoy assumes
• utility function with constant absolute risk aversion
• all investors are identical
• each investor can make an unbiased forecast of the price for the next period, inother wordsprice functions derived under hypothesis of rational expectations

1.3. Summary of theory evolution
• Mean-Variance Analysis: Markovitz (1956, 1959), Tobin (1958)
• CAP model: Sharpe (1964), Lintner (1965), Mossin (1966)
• Intertemporal CAPM: Merton (1973)
• Rational Expectations as a micro-foundation: LeRoy (1973), Lucas (1978)
• Agent-Based Models

2. Agent-Based Modeling
Driving forces (LeBaron, 2000)
• unsatisfactory assumptions of classical models
• empirical puzzles
– equity premium puzzle
– excess volatility
– persistence in volatility
– using of technical trading
• availability of financial data
• findings in experimental financial markets

Common ingredients
• bottom-upstructure: from interaction of heterogeneous agents to properties ofmarket dynamics
• both ”fundamentalists” and ”irrational” agents:
noise traders, chartists, ZI traders
• generation of non-trivial price dynamics: cyclical or chaotic
Examples
• simulations:
– Gode and Sunder, 1993– Arthur et al., 1997– Chiaromonte, Dosi and Jonard, 1999– Levy, Levy and Solomon, 2000– Kirman and Teyssiere, 2000– Bottazzi, Dosi and Rebesco, 2002
• analytical studies:
– Grossman and Stiglitz, 1980– De Long et al., 1991– Brock and Hommes, 1998– Chiarella and He, 2002

What we are interesting in here?
• what is the ”minimal” sufficient source of heterogeneity
• coexistence of heterogeneous traders in CAPM framework
– agents can differ in predictors
– agents can differ in preferences (for example, they might have different riskaversion coefficients)
– agents can differ in investment horizons
– agents can differ in wealth dynamics
• role of assumption about utility function
• role of market architecture

Differences among them
In Bottazzi (2002)
1. Agents make prediction aboutreturns, not about prices
2. Agents are heterogeneous in the estimation of risk
3. Agents do not change own type

3. Investment Horizons
Hypothesis
The investment decision of a trader strongly depends on the time horizon on which hisjudgment about the profit and risk of a given investment is based
Agent-based literature
• Agents are ”myopic”, i.e. they participate to the market in order to maximize thewealth at the next period
• Do the results of models change if one introduces additional heterogeneity in termsof investment time horizons?
• Is it enough to introduce heterogeneity at the level of investment time horizons tobreak the predictions of standard representative-agent models?
Classical literature
• Merton, but there is no dynamics indeed...

4. The Model
4.1. Goals of the paper
• Search for the ”minimal” heterogeneity to generate non-trivial price dynamics
• Qualitative consequences of the introduction of heterogeneity in time horizons
4.2. Conclusions
• Heterogeneity only in investment horizons is not enough
• In general, price dynamics is strongly affected by investment horizons
• Dynamics does depend on the way how agents estimate risk
• Overestimation of risk by fundamentalists leads to unstability of the system

4.4. Modeling different time horizons
Agent with a time horizonη > 0 periods
1. – does not correct the portfolio between timet andt + η
2. – participates in the market at each period
– continuously corrects the portfolio composition
– takes into account the fact that the portfolio will be revised each period
3. – participates in the market at each period
– continuously corrects the portfolio composition
– does not take into account the fact that the portfolio will be revised
– so he maximizes at periodt his expected wealth at periodt + η

4.5. Two classes of agents
Chartists behave as econometricians
• λ ∈ [0, 1) – length of the agent’s memory
• one period forecast
Ect [ρt,t+1] = RMA
t−1 = (1 − λ)∑∞
τ=2 λτ−2ρt−τ
V ct [ρt,t+1] = V MA
t−1 = (1 − λ)∑∞
τ=2 λτ−2[ρt−τ − RMAt−1]

RMAt−1 = λRMA

V MAt−1 = λV MA

• long-term forecast
Ect [ρt,t+η] = η Ec
t [ρt,t+1] = η RMAt−1
V ct [ρt,t+η] = η V c

• θ ∈ [0, 1] – perception of the reactivity of market
• one period price forecast
Eft [pt+1] = pt + θ(p − pt)
• long-term return forecast

6. Conclusion
• Heterogeneity only in investment horizons is not enough
• In general, price dynamics is strongly affected by investment horizons
• Different types of population contribute in different way
• Dynamics does depend on the way how agents estimate risk
• Overestimation of risk by fundamentalists leads to unstability of the system
