We apply perturbation theory to solve the optimal control problem of an investor with time-additive power utility over intermediate consumption and final wealth. Under general conditions we show existence of a power series representation for the prevailing optimal consumption and investment...

We apply perturbation methods to solve in closed form a class of robust control problems, implied by Anderson, Hansen and Sargent setting of a preference for robustness. In the constant investment opportunity set case, we obtain closed form power series solutions for the arising robust Bellman...

In this study, we examine whether changes in the investment opportunityset stemming from interest rate and credit risks are priced in the US, theUK and the Swiss equity premia by estimating both two-factor and three-factor versions of Merton’s ICAPM. The systematic pricing of credit riskis...
