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.

Models of resource markets and the explanation of resource price behaviour

TL;DR: This paper surveys the characteristics of exhaustible resource markets that are likely to be important for the development of successful positive models and discusses exploration and its relationship to production and market price, the effects of various forms of uncertainty on price behaviour, and for some resources, the treatment of durability.

Optimal Investment for Worst-Case Crash Scenarios: A Martingale Approach

TL;DR: This work sets up a nonprobabilistic crash model and considers an investor that seeks to maximize CRRA utility in the worst possible crash scenario, and recast the problem as a stochastic differential game; with the help of the fundamental notion of indifference strategies, completely solve the portfolio problem using martingale arguments.

On Worst-Case Portfolio Optimization

TL;DR: A worst-case portfolio optimization problem that technically appears as a game where the investor chooses a portfolio and his opponent, the market, chooses some market crashes is formulated.

Futures trading with transaction costs

TL;DR: In this article, a probabilistic analysis is presented to identify the loss in value when a proportional transaction cost is introduced, and the authors balance the marginal costs of these two effects.

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.
