Proof of Proposiion 1. he governmen chooses policy n {0, 1,..., } if and only if for all m n, m 0, 1,...,, C n W 1 E τ 1 γ policy n C m W 1 > E τ 1 γ policy m where recall ha C 0 1. he same calculaions as in Lemma 1 lead o he inequaliy μ n g σ g,n τγ 1 c n γ 1 τ >μm g σ g,m τγ 1 c m γ 1 τ B1 he claim follows from he definiions of μ n and c n in equaions 15 and 3. Q.E.D. ProofofCorollary1. Immediae from Proposiion 1 and equaions 16 and 17. ProofofCorollary.Asofime, wehaveforeachn 1,..., c n ĉ n, σ c, B Given he condiion in Proposiion 1 ha policy n {1,..., } is chosen if and only if μ n c n > μ m c m m n, m 1,..., B3 μ n c n > x τ B4 1

We noe wo properies: 1. As ĝ,henp n 0 for all n {1,...,}, asφ x μ n c n ĝ 0.. As τ we have Φ x μ n c n ĝ eμ n ec n φ x x ĝ dx 1 {xτ <eμ n ec n} B5 so ha p n p n τ eμ n x τ Π m n 1 Φ ec m c n + μ m μ n Φ x μ n c n ĝ φ ec n c n d c n Π m n 1 Φ ec m c n + μ m μ n φ ec n c n d c n Q.E.D. Proof of Lemma A1. Using he same argumens as o obain equaion IA.0 in he Inerne Appendix of Pasor and Veronesi 011, afer he announcemen of policy n a ime τ+, he sae price densiy is given by E τ + π policy n πτ n + λ 1 B τ +e μn g τ e μ+ 1 γγ+1σ τ + γ τ σg,n B6 herefore, using also B τ B τ +, he sae price densiy a τ is π τ p n τ πτ n + n0

ProofofLemmaA. From B6 and B8 we obain ha if policy n, n 0, 1,...,, is seleced a τ+, hen Mτ i + E τ + B Bi policy n E τ + B policy n Bi τ +e μσ+μn g τ + 1 τ σ g,n B9 Q.E.D. 3

From Lemmas A1 and A, he gross announcemen reurn from announcing policy n is 1+R n ĝ τ e μn bg τ τ + 1 τ σg,n bσ τ 1+ n1 pn τ 1+R 0 ĝ τ 1+ n1 pn τ e μn g bg τ τ + γ τ σg,n bσ τ 1 e 1 μ n 1 g bgτ τ + τ σg,n bσ τ 1 Similarly, recalling he noaion μ 0 g ĝ τ and σ g,0 σ τ, from Lemma A1 and A he gross announcemen reurn from announcing no policy change is 1+ n1 pn τ e μng bgτ τ + γ τ σ g,n bστ 1 1+ n n1 pn τ e 1μn g bg τ τ + 1 τ σ g,n bσ τ 1 B10 herefore, we can wrie more compacly, for n 1,...,, 1+R n ĝ τ e μn g bg τ τ + 1 τ σ g,n bσ τ 1+R 0 ĝ B11 We can express all he formulas in erms of μ n and x τ. Using he definiions μ n + σ g,n τγ 1 μn g B1 x τ + σ τ τγ 1 ĝ τ B13 we have σ μ n ĝ τ μ n g,n σ τ x τ + τγ 1 B14 he claim of Proposiion hen follows quickly. Q.E.D. Proof of Corollary 3. Immediae from Proposiion. Q.E.D. Proof of Corollary 4. Immediae from Corollary 3: for any wo policies n and m wih μ n μ m, he resul follows from equaion 31. Q.E.D. ProofofProposiion3: o prove his proposiion, we need hree lemmas: Lemma B1.Δb τ and ĝ τ are perfecly correlaed, and we can wrie Δb τ E Δb τ +ĝ τ E ĝ τ σ / σ +τ E Δb τ +x τ E x τ σ / σ +τ Proof of Lemma B1: From Lemma A5 in Pasor and Veronesi 011, we have ha b τ logb τ andĝ τ have he condiional join disribuion bτ b E Δb τ Vb,C ; g,b B15 ĝ τ E ĝ τ C g,b,v bg 4

In fac, Using he fac ha we find Corr Corr C bg,b Vb V bg σ τ 1 bσ σ τ τ σ + σ τ σ σ τ τ σ σ σ σ + σ τ σ τ τ σ + σ τ σ σ τ τ σ σ + σ τ σ σ bσ σ σ +bσ τ B16 B17 σ τ 1 τ σ τ I follows ha we can wrie Δb τ E Δb τ +{ĝ τ E ĝ τ } C b,bg V b E Δb τ +{ĝ τ E ĝ τ } V bg V bg E Δb τ +{ĝ τ E ĝ τ } σ τ E σ σ τ Δb τ +{ĝ τ E ĝ τ } σ / σ +τ where we also used he equaliy σ σ τ σ σ σ σ + σ τ σ τ σ + σ τ From he definiion of x τ, i also follows ha x τ E x τ ĝ τ E ĝ τ. Q.E.D. 5

In addiion, E x τ ĝ bσ τ τγ 1. oe ha f Δb τ S,κ a τ does no depend on he curren value of log capial, b, hence he condiional dependence only on S and ime. ProofofLemmaB. he condiional CDF is Pr Δb x F Δbτ Δb S, τ < μ n c n τ < Δb, c n μ n + μ m < c m for m n Pr x τ < μ n c n c n μ n + μ m < c m for m n S x τ < μ n c n c n μ n + μ m < c m for m n S B0 he denominaor is jus p n from Corollary. Consider he numeraor. From Lemma B1: Δb τ E Δb τ {x τ E x τ } σ / σ +τ which implies σ x τ E x τ +{Δb τ E Δb τ } σ + σ τ hus, he join disribuion can be wrien as x Pr Δb τ < Δb, τ < μ n c n c n μ n + μ m < c m S bσ E x τ +{Δb τ E Δb τ } Pr Δb τ < Δb, σ +bσ τ < μn c n S c n μ n + μ m < c m c n < μ n bσ E x τ {Δb τ E Δb τ } Pr Δb τ < Δb, σ +bσ τ c n,s φ ec c n μ n + μ m < c m n c n d c n Δb eμ n bσ E x τ {Δb τ E Δb τ } σ +bσ τ Π m n 1 Φ ec m c n μ n + μ m φ ec n c n d c n φ Δbτ Δb τ dδb τ where we exploied he independence across c m and wih respec o Δb τ. Subsiuing ino B0 and aking he firs derivaive wih respec o Δb, we obain he densiy B19. Q.E.D. 6

Q.E.D. ProofofProposiion4:he resul follows from an applicaion of Io s Lemma o equaion 36, and recalling ha π is a maringale, and hus E dπ /π 0. Q.E.D. Proof of Corollary 5: From propery 1 in he proof of Corollary, for a given disribuion of c n,wehavep 0 1asĝ. I follows ha he sae price densiy converges o one ha assigns zero probabiliy o a policy change: π ΩS E π τ + 0an λ 1 E B λ 1 B 0an e bg e μ+ 1 γγ+1σ + γ bσ Since his sae price densiy does no depend on any ĉ n 1 ΩS,wehave ΩS 0. Q.E.D. bc n Proof of Proposiion 5: he proof is idenical o he proof of Proposiion 3, excep ha we have o calculae E πτ + Mτ i + p n E πτ + Mτ i + n a τ n0 From B8, for n 1,.., : E πτ + Mτ i + n a τ λ 1 E i τ + n a τ λ 1 E B τ +Bτ i + e 1μn g τ e 1μ+ 1 γγ 1σ τ + 1 τ σ g,n n a τ λ 1 e 1μn g τ e 1μ+ 1 γγ 1σ τ + 1 τ σ g,n E e bτ +bi τ n a τ ow, recall which implies B i τ B i B τ e 1 σ 1 τ +σ 1Zτ i Z i B3 B e bi τ e b i +bτ b 1 σ 1 τ +σ 1Z i τ Zi B4 8

Q.E.D. ProofofProposiion6. he claim follows from an applicaion of Io s Lemma o he price M i in Proposiion 5, and he equilibrium resricion μ i dm i M Cov, dπ M i π. Q.E.D. ProofofProposiion7. he expression for he jump risk premium follows immediaely from JS τ p n τ R n x τ n0 where R n x τ are given in Proposiion. We now see ha M i J S τ Cov τ + τ 1, π τ + 1 {E Mτ i τ J M J π E τ J M E τ J π } π τ where, if policy n is chosen, we denoe JM n M τ+ n M τ and Jπ n πn τ+ π τ.
