This paper derives an asset pricing theory under uncertainty based on the no-arbitrage principle. By assuming the pricing factors of a sequence of assets are characterized by uncertainty in probability distributions, I prove the conditions for the existence of both a systematic and an idiosyncratic ambiguity premium. The presence of the latter is justified by the incomplete diversifiability of ambiguity through combinations of the assets in a portfolio. Furthermore, the theory leads to an ambiguity measure based on the no-arbitrage principle which is sharply separated from agents\u2019 attitude towards uncertainty. This no-arbitrage ambiguity index is then estimated empirically for the following regions: North America, Europe, Japan, and Asia Pacific (excluding Japan) and compared to other popular measures in recent literature. The results show that the measure is well founded theoretically and characterized by a pattern consistent with historical events traditionally interpreted as sources of uncertainty. It is also more informative than other existing measures with respect to the detection of fluctuations in overall economic uncertainty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Presenting &#8220;Arbitrage Pricing under Uncertainty and the Measurement of Ambiguity from Financial Asset Prices&#8221; at 12:15-13:30 in QA406.
