Stock Market Volatility and Mathematical Expectations
It is generally believed that excessive stock market volatility reflects non-mathematical market expectations that are driven by “irrational exuberance” or “animal spirits”. As shown in this paper, there is an alternative explanation. If ex-ante and ex-post expectations are calculated in different stochastic processes, uncertainty can cause mathematical market expectations to be more volatile than their fundamentals.
