Cover Story: We assess the ability of three prominent consumption-based asset pricing models—the Bansal–Yaron, Campbell–Cochrane, and Cecchetti–Lam–Mark models—to explain stock return dynamics. While the Bansal–Yaron and Campbell–Cochrane models can resolve the equity premium and risk-free rate puzzles, their ability to capture return dynamics remains underexplored. None of the models can explain return dynamics, as evidenced by their residuals—the difference between expected and actual returns—not being martingale difference sequences. Mincer–Zarnowitz regressions show that out-of-sample expected returns are systematically biased. Additionally, semi-parametric tests question the ability of the models’ state variables to explain return dynamics, whatever the form of the stochastic discount factor. View this paper
