We provide examples of pitfalls for parametric portfolio policies as introduced by Brandt, Santa Clara and Valkanov (RFS 2009). For the leading case of constant relative risk aversion (CRRA) strong assumptions on the properties of the returns, the variables used to implement the parametric...

This paper provides an econometric analysis of parameter estimation for continuous-time affine term structure models that are driven by latent diffusions. Simulating an affine two factor short rate model where one process is Gaussian and the other factor is square root we perform a comparison...
