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.

Optimal Portfolios with Defaultable Securities: A Firm Value Approach

TL;DR: In this article, a continuous-time portfolio optimization with defaultable bonds and stocks is proposed, where the investor has the opportunity to put her wealth into derivatives with counterparty risk or credit derivatives.

A Dynamic Equilibrium Model of Imperfectly Integrated Financial Markets

TL;DR: A continous-time general equilibrium model of a two-country, pure-exchange economy featuring taxes on the repatriation of dividends is built, giving a full description of equilibrium in-between the polar cases of perfect integration and full segmentation.

Measuring Market and Inflation Risk Premia in France and in Germany

TL;DR: In this article, the role of inflation in the determination of financial asset prices is investigated. And the authors find that inflation is a significant explanatory factor for the pricing of stocks and government bonds in the two countries, while there seems to be no clear structural break in the impact of inflation on asset prices after Stage Three of Economic and Monetary Union.

TL;DR: It is shown that liquidity constraints and uninsurable income risk reduce consumption and investment in the risky asset substantially from the levels for the case where no market imperfections exist.

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.
