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.

Taxation and rotation age under stochastic forest stand value
Luis H. R. Alvarez,Erkki Koskela +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the impact of yield tax, lump-sum tax and tax on interest rate earnings on the privately optimal rotation period when forest stand value is stochastic and forest owners are risk averse or risk neutral.

Optimal dynamic hedging portfolios and the currency composition of external debt
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a model which shows that the currency composition of a country's external debt can serve as a hedging instrument against changes in exchange rates and commodity prices.

Can Costs of Consumption Adjustment Explain Asset Pricing Puzzles
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate Grossman and Laroque's conjecture that costs of adjusting consumption can account, in part, for the empirical failure of the consumption-based capital asset pricing model (CCAPM).

Dynamic Pairs Trading Using the Stochastic Control Approach
Agnès Tourin,Raphael Yan +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a model for analyzing dynamic pairs trading strategies using the stochastic control approach is proposed, where the portfolio consists of a bank account and two co-integrated stocks and the objective is to maximize for a fixed time horizon, the expected terminal utility of wealth.

Countercyclical Labor Income Risk and Portfolio Choices over the Life Cycle
Sylvain Catherine
TL;DR: The cyclicality of skewness in labor income risk affects portfolio choices over the life cycle. It explains low stock market participation among young households, increasing equity share until retirement, and lower investment in stocks for renters compared to homeowners.

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.
