By equation (5), μv(St) = ηt,DηS,DσD + rf and ΣS(St) = ηS,DσD. Since
Vt = αtSt , we obtain ηtS,D = ηtV,D and ΣV (St) = ΣS(St) = ηtV,DσD . Hence
we can rewrite the covariance as

Theelasticities ηV,D and ηs,d are positive. Hence, Cov (CERt,τv () — rf Dt) <
[>] 0 if aggregate RRA is declining [increasing] and ηsV,D is non-increasing
[non-declining] in
Ds . The latter condition is equivalent to the condition that
the instantaneous volatility of the return index, Σ
V (Ss), is not increasing
[not declining] because Σ
V(Ss) = ηV,DσD.                               


6.5 Proof of Lemma 2

Let X denote the aggregate supply of claims. Then equation (9) yields for
ηi(xi)=γi,i = 1...n

1    = αi ( X )

ηM ( X )         γi

Differentiating with respect to X yields

ηM( X ) = ^ αi( X )
