Portfolio turnpikes state that, as the investment horizon increases, optimal portfolios for generic utilities converge to those of isoelastic utilities. This paper proves three kinds of turnpikes. In a general semimartingale setting, the abstract turnpike states that optimal final payo ffs and...

We consider thin incomplete financial markets, where traders with heterogeneous preferences and risk exposures have motive to behave strategically regarding the demand schedules they submit, thereby impacting prices and allocations. We argue that traders relatively more exposed to the market...

We study existence and uniqueness of continuous-time stochastic Radner equilibria in an incomplete markets model. An assumption of "smallness'' type - imposed through the new notion of "closeness to Pareto optimality'' - is shown to be sufficient for existence and uniqueness. Central role in our...

The large majority of risk-sharing transactions involve few agents, each of whom can heavily influence the structure and the prices of securities. This paper proposes a game where agents' strategic sets consist of all possible sharing securities and pricing kernels that are consistent with...

We analyze the valuation partial differential equation for European contingent claims in a general framework of stochastic volatility models where the diffusion coefficients may grow faster than linearly and degenerate on the boundaries of the state space. We allow for various types of model...

We solve the problem of valuing and optimal exercise of American call-type options in markets which do not necessarily admit an equivalent local martingale measure. This resolves an open question proposed by Karatzas and Fernholz (Handbook of Numerical Analysis, vol. 15, pp. 89–167, Elsevier,...
