Optimum consumption and portfolio rules in a continuous-time model☆
5.8K
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the continuous-time consumption-portfolio problem for an individual whose income is generated by capital gains on investments in assets with prices assumed to satisfy the geometric Brownian motion hypothesis, which implies that asset prices are stationary and lognormally distributed.

Consumption and Portfolio Decisions when Expected Returns are Time Varying
John Y. Campbell,Luis M. Viceira +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an approximate analytical solution to the optimal consumption and portfolio choice problem of an infinitely lived investor with Epstein-Zin-Weil utility who faces a constant riskless interest rate and a time-varying equity premium is presented.
The asymptotic elasticity of utility functions and optimal investment in incomplete markets
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the problem of maximizing the expected utility of terminal wealth in the framework of a general incomplete semimartingale model of a financial market and showed that the necessary and sufficient condition on a utility function for the validity of several key assertions of the theory to hold true is the requirement that the asymptotic elasticity of the utility function is strictly less then one.
The Gambler's and Hot-Hand Fallacies: Theory and Applications
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors develop a model of the gambler's fallacy, the mistaken belief that random sequences should exhibit systematic reversals, and show that an individual who holds this belief and observes a sequence of signals can exaggerate the magnitude of changes in an underlying state but underestimate their duration.
Contagion as a Wealth Effect
Albert S. Kyle,Wei Xiong +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe financial contagion as a wealth effect in a continuous-time model with two risky assets and three types of traders, i.e., convergence traders with logarithmic utility trade optimally in both markets, while noise traders trade randomly in one market.

Lifetime Portfolio Selection under Uncertainty: The Continuous-Time Case
TL;DR: In this paper, the combined problem of optimal portfolio selection and consumption rules for an individual in a continuous-time model was examined, where his income is generated by returns on assets and these returns or instantaneous "growth rates" are stochastic.

Stochastic Differential Equations
Ioannis Karatzas,Steven E. Shreve +1 more
- 01 Jan 1998
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore questions of existence and uniqueness for solutions to stochastic differential equations and offer a study of their properties, using diffusion processes as a model of a Markov process with continuous sample paths.

Lifetime Portfolio Selection By Dynamic Stochastic Programming
TL;DR: In this paper, the optimal consumption-investment problem for an investor whose utility for consumption over time is a discounted sum of single-period utilities, with the latter being constant over time and exhibiting constant relative risk aversion (power-law functions or logarithmic functions), is discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the problem of approximating the Brownian motion by a random walk with respect to the de Moivre-laplace limit theorem and show that it is NP-hard.
