The Fisher Model and the Foundations
of the Net Present Value Rule:
Assets : pay dividends in later time.
Assets: A real asset is defined by its payoff:

Present Value Rule:
What are the factors that we need to add to develop a Financial Model:
Assets: An real asset is defined by its payoff: Dx ; D y
Since there is no risk the assets are defined by their dividends.

Fishers Model: An Example
Two agents (A, B) and two goods model : (X 1, X2) Coconuts today
and coconuts tomorrow or next year i.e, 1 and 2 are the times
Financial Equilibrium :
(q , q ), ( X

, X 2A ), ( X 1B , X 2B ), ( , ), (A , A ), (B , B )
In equilibrium i chooses (X1 and X2) and (,) to maximize Ui subject to the
budget set.

Features of the Economy
Inflation: q2/q1
Arbitrage: With perfect foresight

( for the example )
D2 2
Suppose after finding the equilibrium we add a third asset that pays $1
in period 2

Selling
0 short selling
No default
Present Value Prices:
Fisher says though it looks complicated it is simple to
solve. He introduces the concept of present value
Prices.
Also recognize that buying a stock implies sacrificing
consumption today! Coconuts today Vs coconuts
tomorrow
Now the arbitrage ensures that no matter how we do it
through assets , or it should represent same trade-
off.
Present Value Prices:
p1= price of a coconut today=q1
p2= price today of a coconut tomorrow or next year
(say =1/4 which implies p2 is 1/8)

Fishers theory does not explain how much of each stock investors holds.
Does not explain nominal interest rate but real interest rate

Some more insights into Fishers model:
3. Define real rate of interest rate as (1+r)= number of goods today ->
number of goods tomorrow
One unit of X1 -> 3 units of stock alpha -> 3 units of X2 ->
(1+r)=3 -> r is 200%
4. Suppose we have started with q1=1 and q2=2 then inflation (1+g)=2 or
g is 200%
1. What will be the price of stock with inflation:
D2 q2
(1 i )
Nominal Interest rate with inflation: $1 today -> 3 units of alpha -> 3 units of X2 -> $
6 -> 1+i= 6 implies i is 500%
Fishers equation:
(1+r)=(1+i)/(1+g)

Equation for the Capital market Line:
1. W0 = Y0 + Y1/(1+r)
2. W0 = C*0 + C*1/(1+r)
Observation: Moving along the capital line does not change ones
wealth, but it does offer different pattern of consumption.
