Abstract: We derive the equilibrium interest rate and risk premiums using recursive utility with heterogeneity in a continuous time model. We solve the associated sup-convolution problem, and obtain explicit closed form solutions. The heterogeneous two-agent model is calibrated to the data of Mehra and Prescott (1985) assuming the market portfolio is not a proxy of the wealth portfolio. This results in plausible values for the preference parameters of the two agents under various assumptions for the wealth portfolio.
Keywords: The equity premium puzzle; the risk-free rate puzzle; recursive utility; the stochastic maximum principle; heterogeneity; limited market participation
