This paper discusses the role that Genetic Algorithms (GA) can have in determining asset allocation for multi sector funds. We present an asset allocation model where the investors' utility function departs from the quadratic utility function assumed by the standard Mean-Variance optimisation....

This paper proposes an equilibrium model to explain the positive and sizable term premia observed in the data. We introduce a slow mean-reverting process of consumption growth and a segmented asset market mechanism with heterogeneous trading technology to otherwise a standard heterogeneous agent...

This article proposes a general equilibrium model to explain the positive and sizable term premia implied by the data. The authors introduce a slow mean-reverting process of consumption growth and a segmented asset-market mechanism with heterogeneous trading technologies into an otherwise...

Usually people make use of sensitivities in order to hedge a portfolio sensitive to interest rates risks. Actually the bond relative price change is approximated by the opposite of its duration times the interest rate change added by the convexity times the square of this interest rate change....

This paper presents a stylized model of interaction among boundedly rational heterogeneousagents in a multi-asset financial market to examine how agents' impatience, extrapolation, andswitching behaviours can affect cross-section market stability. Besides extrapolation and performance based...
