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.

Expected Option Returns

TL;DR: The authors examines expected option returns in the context of mainstream asset pricing theory and shows that option risk can be thought of as consisting of two separable components, i.e., leverage effect and systematic stochastic volatility.

Investor Attention: Overconfidence and Category Learning

TL;DR: The authors show that limited investor attention leads to ''category-learning'' behavior, i.e., investors tend to process more market and sector-wide information than firm-specific information, which generates important features observed in return comovement that are otherwise difficult to explain with standard rational expectations models.

On the Out-of-Sample Importance of Skewness and Asymmetric Dependence for Asset Allocation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the economic and statistical signi cantance of two types of asymmetries for asset allocation decisions in an out-of-sample setting and concluded that capturing skewness and asymmetric dependence leads to gains that are economically and statistically signifi cant in some cases.

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.
