内容摘要:

Empirical research finds little support for the standard consumption-based asset pricing model (CCAPM). Product turnover as a result of creative destruction embodies quality upgrading by Schumpeter (1942)’s argument, making it relevant for measuring real consumption. Adopting a recent approach to measuring the cost ofliving which accounts for changes in product variety in the consumer market, I test whether the poor performance of CCAPM comes from the fact that real consumption is mismeasured using the current fixed- basket price index. Per-capita real consumption growth is faster and more negatively skewed after adjusting for product turnover, while the volatility of consumption growth remains largely unchanged. Moreover, the adjustment does not improve the ability of consumption risk to explain the cross-section of equity returns.
