Optimum consumption and portfolio rules in a continuous-time model☆

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.

Growth and risk-sharing with incomplete international assets markets

TL;DR: In this paper, a general equilibrium model of limited international asset trade in a two-country setting was developed, where only non-contingent claims can be traded in international assets markets.

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.

Optimal portfolios when volatility can jump

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider an asset allocation problem in a continuous-time model with stochastic volatility and jumps in both the asset price and its volatility, and derive the optimal portfolio for an investor with constant relative risk aversion.

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.
