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 monopolist pricing under demand uncertainty in dynamic markets

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine pricing policy for a monopolist facing uncertain demand in a market characterized by dynamics on the demand side (such as diffusion or saturation effects) and/or on the cost side (experience curve effects).

Optimal portfolios for DC pension plans under a CEV model

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the portfolio optimization problem for an investor who seeks to maximize the expected utility of the terminal wealth in a DC pension plan and derived the explicit solutions for the CRRA and CARA utility functions, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI

Model Misspecification and Under-Diversification

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors develop a model of intertemporal portfolio choice where an investor accounts explicitly for the possibility of model misspecification, and derive in closed-form the optimal portfolio weights of an investor who accounts for model miss-pecification.

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.
