In standard financial model which is proposed by Markuitz, the basis of financial activity is on logical act of investors. With establishment of a branch named behavioral finance which is based on the works of Kahneman and Tuerski, the role of psychology of investors and the results of...

This paper considers a general class of stochastic dynamic choice models with discrete and continuous decision variables. This class contains a variety of models that are useful for modeling intertemporal household decisions under risk. Our examples are drawn from the field of development...

This paper studies optimal saving and investment behaviour of a household that can either invest in a riskless or a risky saving technology when risk results from a Poisson process. The focus is on behaviour of households in a general equilibrium setup. Poisson processes are introduced since...

This chapter gives an overview of current research in evolutionary finance. We mainly focus on the survival and stability properties of investment strategies associated with the Kelly rule. Our approach to the study of the wealth dynamics of investment strategies is inspired by Darwinian ideas...

Purpose: This article deals with the retail investors' decision-making under risk, firstly addressing several theories of decision-making under risk. Following this theoretical framework, an analysis on investment strategies on the Croatian capital market has been conducted....

Bottom-up optimization models neglect the inclusion of investment behavior We introduce three investor types that differ in their investment cost specifications, financing costs, and discounting. This leads to a substantially different pace and rate of adoption for specific generation...

We study optimal portfolio decisions for a retail investor that faces proportional costs which are floored and capped at some minimal and maximal cost levels, respectively, in a classical Black-Scholes market. We provide a construction of optimal trading strategies and characterize the value...

We analyze the joint effect of borrowing and short-sale constraints in a dynamic economy populated by two constrained investors with heterogeneous risk aversions and beliefs. We find that equilibrium prices adjust in such a way that the constraints never simultaneously bind. When the constraints...
