We provide a closed-form solution to an optimal investment and consumption problem for a constant absolute risk aversion (CARA) agent, who faces execution costs when trading correlated risky assets with return predictability. The optimal investment strategy indicates that the agent should trade...

This paper investigates the strategic interaction of information acquisition and noise trading patterns, as well as its significant implications in market equilibrium outcomes. We consider a market where the strategic trader can dynamically acquire costly information about an asset's payoff via...

This paper investigates the strategic interaction of information acquisition, information-based dynamic trading, and noise trading patterns, as well as its significant implications on market equilibrium outcomes. We consider a market where the strategic trader can dynamically acquire costly...

In 2009, Avellaneda and Lipkin (A&L) proposed a dynamic model for hard-to-borrow stocks, in which the stock price and the buy-in rate, an additional factor introduced by them, are full coupled. In order to obtain a semi-explicit pricing formula for European call options, A&L had to make an...

In this paper, we provide a closed-form solution to an optimal portfolio execution problem with stochastic price impact and stochastic net demand pressure. Specifically, each trade of an investor has temporary and permanent price impacts, both of which are driven by a continuous-time Markov...

In an incomplete market model where convex trading constraints are imposed upon the underlying assets, it is no longer possible to obtain unique arbitrage-free prices for derivatives using standard replication arguments. Most existing derivative pricing approaches involve the selection of a...

This work studies the long-range dependence of retail trading in the stock market. Strong evidence is found for the presence of long memory in retail trading activity, and this finding is robust to the choice of retail trade identification criteria and statistical estimators for the memory...

The issue of developing simple Black-Scholes type approximations for pricing European options with large discrete dividends was popular since early 2000's with a few different approaches reported during the last 10 years. Moreover, it has been claimed that at least some of the resulting...

Volume weighted average price (VWAP) options are a popular security type in many countries, but despite their popularity very few pricing models have been developed so far for VWAP options. This can be explained by the fact that the VWAP pricing problem is set in an incomplete market since there...
