This paper considers the nonlinear theory of G-martingales as introduced by Peng in [16, 17]. A martingale representation theorem for this theory is proved by using the techniques and the results established in [20] for the second order stochastic target problems and the second order backward...

We consider the classical Merton problem of lifetime consumption-portfolio optimization problem with small proportional transaction costs. The first order term in the asymptotic expansion is explicitly calculated through a singular ergodic control problem which can be solved in closed form in...

In the context of the multi-dimensional infinite horizon optimal consumption-investment problem with proportional transaction costs, we provide the first order expansion in small transact costs. Similar to the one-dimensional derivation in our accompanying paper [42], the asymptotic expansion is...

Following the framework of Cetin et al. (finance stoch. 8:311-341, 2004), we study the problem of super-replication in the presence of liquidity costs under additional restrictions on the gamma of the hedging strategies in a generalized black-scholes economy. We find that the minimal...

We consider a financial market with liquidity cost as in \c{C}etin, Jarrow and Protter [2004], where the supply function $S^{\epsilon}(s,\nu)$ depends on a parameter $\epsilon\geq 0$ with $S^0(s,\nu)=s$ corresponding to the perfect liquid situation. Using the PDE characterization of \c{C}etin,...

We consider continuous-time models in which the agent is paid at the end of the time horizon by the principal, who does not know the agent's type. The agent dynamically affects either the drift of the underlying output process, or its volatility. The principal's problem reduces to a calculus of...

As consumers are offered an ever-increasing number of options for almost every purchase decision in online retail, understanding the impact of assortment size on consumer choice decisions––especially on both search and purchase behavior––is critical. Our research speaks to this question...

Based on a survey of 939 farmers in Sichuan and Chongqing, this paper analyzes the influencing factors of entrepreneurial farmers’ formal financial credit demands and credit constraints with Probit model. It is found that entrepreneurial farmers have strong demand for formal financial...

In this paper we study the nonzero-sum Dynkin game in continuous time which is a two player non-cooperative game on stopping times. We show that it has a Nash equilibrium point for general stochastic processes. As an application, we consider the problem of pricing American game contingent claims...
