This paper studies knowledge sharing in alliances and alliance portfolios. We develop a theoretical framework that encompass as special cases the problems of knowledge misappropriation and asymmetric learning and show that, once the issue of encouraging effective collaboration is put...

We remove the technical assumption $\gamma>0$ imposed by Dai et. al. who consider the optimal investment and consumption decision of a CRRA investor facing proportional transaction costs and finite time horizon. As a by-product, we obtain an estimate on the optimal consumption

We propose a multi-stage stochastic trading cost model in optimal portfolio selection. This strategy captures uncertainty in implicit transaction costs incurred by an investor during initial trading and in subsequent rebalancing of the portfolio. We assume that implicit costs are stochastic as...

As in continuous time, the nontrading region (NTR) in a mean-variance model with fixed, proportional, and quadratic trading costs is a singleton only for pure quadratic costs. Utility loss from costs is approximately proportional at small cost levels, and approximately constant at large cost...

An essential element of any realistic investment portfolio selection is the consideration of transaction costs. Our purpose, in this paper, is to determine the maximum return and the corresponding number of securities to buy giving such return, whenever practical constraints features related to...

The aim of this article is to analyse the major sources of transaction costs in financial markets, in particular to find the amounts of such costs on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE). Sources of transaction costs are considered: commissions, bid-ask spread and market impact. The commissions are...

Transaction-cost models in continuous-time markets are considered. Given that investors decide to buy or sell at certain time instants, we study the existence of trading strategies that reach a certain final wealth level in continuous-time markets, under the assumption that transaction costs,...
