Now, in order to have price equilibrium in terms of the aggregate demand for the ith stock we use the same technique as employed by Lintner (1965a) with only one distinction: Lintner was allowed to sum up his equations for all investors. In our model, we are allowed to sum them up only for investors k who hold the security under consideration in their portfolios, since equation (4) (from which we derive equation (12)) includes the ith security only for investors k who hold it. After multiplying equation (12) by Tk24 and summing up only for investors k who hold security i, we obtain (13) [Pi, - P0o(1 + r)] E T = k ET (A - r) NikU*2+ E Nj a k Ljl J = The equilibrium price of share i, PF, is given by (14) (1 + r)Pi = Pi1 - (Tk(Ak - r) [Nik i + L Njk j) +>* Tk k In order to derive a more comparable form for the equilibrium price as implied by the CAPM we multiply and divide by [I2kTk- (k- r)] to obtain [Tk(A k -r)) (15) (1 + r)Pio Pi, [ T2U-2 [ Tk (8k k k k r - r)]+E where P0 is the equilibrium price of stock i as suggested by this model. The price of risk is given by [ ? Tk(gk r)]/k - T k? and is relevant only for investors who hold security i. Obviously, investors who do not hold security i are faced by a different price of risk. Moreover, the same investor may face two (or more) different prices of risk, one appropriate for security i and one for security j. This may occur since the group of investors who hold security i is not necThis content downloaded from 202.115.118.13 on Wed, 11 Sep 2013 03:07:38 AM All use subject to JSTOR Terms and Conditions
