Zhenjiang Qin

Zhenjiang Qin is affiliated with CREATES and will defend his thesis entitled "Essays on Heterogeneous Beliefs, Public Information, and Asset Pricing".

This thesis conducts theoretic analysis on asset pricing models to provide better understanding of the role of public information and derivatives in general equilibriums with heterogeneous beliefs, in both discrete-time and continuous-time frameworks. Both public information and derivatives are found to facilitate speculative positions based on heterogeneously perceived variances of forthcoming dividend, and improve allocational efficiency of financial markets.
