The paper examines a class of random dynamical systems related to the classical von Neumann and Gale models of economic dynamics. Such systems are defined in terms of multivalued operators in spaces of random vectors, possessing certain properties of convexity and homogeneity. We establish a...

Modern portfolio theory regards the return of an asset as its upside, while volatilityis seen as its downside. This view is shared by the majority of investors who dislikevolatile markets. Recent results in financial mathematics, however, show thatvolatility is actually good, rather than bad,...

The paper examines a dynamic model of a financial market with endogenous asset prices determined by short run equilibrium of supply and demand. Assets pay dividends that are partially consumed and partially reinvested. The traders use fixed-mix investment strategies (portfolio rules),...

Von Neumann’s [60] model of an expanding economy, generalized by Gale [30],was one of the first models in Mathematical Economics that served as thebasis for a rich and interesting theory. This theory was developed for the mostpart in the 1950s and 1960s. Substantial contributions to it were...
