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.

On optimal portfolio trading strategies for an investor facing transactions costs in a continuous trading market

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the portfolio trading problem for an investor who faces transactions costs and short sales constraints in a continuous time economy with general specifications of ask and bid prices.

Portfolio Choices, Firm Shocks and Uninsurable Wage Risk

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors find that the marginal effect of uninsurable wage risk is much larger than estimates that ignore endogeneity, and they find that its overall effect is contained, not because its marginal effect is small but because its size is small.

Not so demanding: preference structure, firm behavior, and welfare

TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce two new tools for relating preferences and demand to behavior and economic performance: the demand manifold and the utility manifold, which link the elasticity and convexity of an arbitrary demand function with the concavity of a utility function, and show how the structure of demand and preferences determine the responses of monopoly rms and monopolistically competitive industries to exogenous shocks.

Optimal Index Tracking Under Transaction Costs and Impulse Control

TL;DR: In this article, the authors apply impulse control techniques to a cash management problem within a mean-variance framework and show the existence of an optimal strategy and compute it numerically.

Robust option pricing

TL;DR: This paper combines robust optimization and the idea of ∊-arbitrage to propose a tractable approach to price a wide variety of options and shows computational tractability and modeling flexibility.

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.
