A bipolar theorem for L
We consider a stochastic overlapping generations model for a continuum of individuals with finite lives in presence of a financial market. In this paper, an agent's heterogeneity is given by the dates of birth of the household members, in contrast to standard models, in which each agent has his own aversion coefficient on his utility function. By means of martingale arguments, we compute the agent's optimal consumption and portfolio. A characterization of interest rate trajectories is given by mixed-type...
2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 60G48, 60G20, 60G15, 60G17. JEL Classification: G10The change in the wealth of a market agent (an investor, a company, a bank etc.) in an economy is a popular topic in finance. In this paper, we propose a general stochastic model describing the wealth process and give some of its properties and special cases. A result regarding the probability of default within the framework of the model is also offered.
This work discusses the process of price formation for electrical energy within an auction-like trading environment. Calculating optimal bid strategies of power producers by equilibrium arguments, we obtain the corresponding electricity price and estimate its tail behavior.
We study a version of no arbitrage condition in a simple model with general transaction costs. Our condition is equivalent to the existence of an equivalent martingale measure.
