We study a discontinuous mispricing model of a risky asset under asymmetric information where jumps in the asset price and mispricing are modelled by Lévy processes. By contracting the filtration of the informed investor, we obtain optimal portfolios and maximum expected utilities for the...

This paper addresses how asymmetric information, fads and Lévy jumps in the price of an asset affect the optimal portfolio strategies and maximum expected utilities of two distinct classes of rational investors in a financial market. We obtain the investors’ optimal portfolios and maximum...

We model an impulse control problem when the controller's action affects the state as well as the dynamics of the state process for a random amount of time. We apply our model to solve a central bank intervention problem in the foreign exchange market when the market observes and reacts to the...
