The second term on the right hand side of equation (10) can be rewritten
as (since ∑i α'i(Dτ) = 0)

The last equation follows from d ln αi∕d ln Dτ = d ln xi/d ln Dτ — 1 and equa-
tion (8) which implies d ln αi∕d ln Dτ = ηM(Dτ)[1 /ηi(xi) — 1 /ηM(Dτ)].
Multiplying equation (10) by ηM(Dτ) proves Lemma 1.
6.2 Proof of Proposition 1
For 0 ≤ t ≤ s the forward stochastic discount factor is defined by Φt,s =
Φ0,s/Φ0,t. Because of the martingale property Φ0,t = E(Φ0,s∣Dt), the elas-
ticity of the (forward) stochastic discount factor Φt,s with respect to the
dividend Dt is given by
∂ ln Φt,s = ∂ ln Φo,s
∂ ln Dt ∂ ln Ds
e(∂^ Φ ts
∂ ln Ds
Df)) = — ηΦ D + E ( ηφ D φts ∣ Dt),
since ∂ ln Ds = 1 d φ,D ≡ d l∏φ0,s
since ∂ ln Dt = 1 and ηs ≡ ∂ ln Ds ■
Differentiating the logarithm of equation (4) with respect to ln Dt yields
after some manipulation

The forward stochastic discount factor defines an equivalent martingale mea-
sure P , i.e. P (A)= A Φt,sdP , where P is the physical or objective proba-
bility measure. Hence the previous equation yields

where covP(.) is the covariance under the equivalent martingale measure P7.
Thus, if ηφ,D is constant, then ηS,D ≡ ∂П Dt = 1. Declining aggregate RRA,
d∂Djr- < 0, implies covP(Ds,ηφ,D∣Dt) < 0 and, hence, ηS,D > 1. Increasing
aggregate RRA, 'DDD, > 0, implies ηS,D < 1. ■
