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.

An Intertemporal General Equilibrium Asset Pricing Model: The Case of Diffusion Information

Chi-Fu Huang
- 01 Jan 1987 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided sufficient conditions for the equilibrium price system and a vector of exogenously specified state variable processes to form a diffusion process in a pure exchange economy, which involves smoothness of agents' utility functions and certain nice properties of the aggregate endowment process and the dividend processes of traded assets.

Labor income, borrowing constraints, and equilibrium asset prices

TL;DR: In this article, the authors develop a duality approach to study an individual's optimal consumption and portfolio policy when the individual has limited opportunities to borrow against future labor income and cannot totally insure the risk of income fluctuations.

Hedging Derivative Securities and Incomplete Markets: An e-Arbitrage Approach

TL;DR: By applying stochastic dynamic programming to the minimization of a mean-squared error loss function under Markov-state dynamics, recursive expressions for the optimal-replication strategy are derived that are readily implemented in practice.

Fiscal Policy, Inflation and the Accumulation of Risky Capital

TL;DR: In this article, a one-sector growth model is developed to explore the relationship between fiscal policy, government debt, inflation, and capital accumulation, and the model is used to answer three general questions: (1) Does the level of government expenditure affect the rate of capital accumulation and inflation in steady state? (2) Does government finance, when the choice is between an income tax and deficit finance, affect these magnitudes? (3) What is the effect of uncertainty in the productivity of capital on growth?

The Role of Portfolio Constraints in the International Propagation of Shocks

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study the comovement among stock prices and exchange rates in a three-good, three-country, Centre-Periphery, dynamic equilibrium model in which the Centre's agents face portfolio constraints.

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.

Stochastic Stability and Control

TL;DR: In this article, a book on stochastic stability and control dealing with Liapunov function approach to study of Markov processes is presented, which is based on the work of this article.
