TLDR
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.

Game theory and business applications

TL;DR: Game theory has been applied to a growing list of practical problems, from antitrust analysis to monetary policy; from the design of auction institutions to the structuring of incentives within firms; from patent races to dispute resolution.

Optimal asset allocation in life annuities: a note

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived the optimal utility-maximizing asset allocation between a risky and risk-free asset within a variable annuity (VA) contract, which is a US-based savings and decumulation investment product.

Dynamic trading policies with price impact

TL;DR: In this article, the optimal policy for a risk averse agent who wants to sell a large block of shares of a risky security in the presence of price impact and transactions costs is analyzed.

Monte Carlo computation of optimal portfolios in complete markets

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce a method that relies exclusively on Monte Carlo simulation in order to compute numerically optimal portfolio values for utility maximization problems, which can be applied regardless of the number of factors and of whether the agent derives utility from intertemporal consumption, terminal wealth or both.

The Economics of Hedge Funds

TL;DR: In contrast to the standard risk-seeking intuition, even with a constant return-to-scale alpha-generating strategy, a risk-neutral manager becomes endogenously risk-averse and decreases leverage following poor performance to increase the fund's survival likelihood as mentioned in this paper.

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.

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.
