In this paper, a link between a time-consistent and a pre-commitment investment strategy is established. We define an implied investment target, which is implicitly contained in a time-consistent strategy at a given time step and wealth level. By imposing the implied investment target at the...

While cointegration models with constant parameters generate statistical arbitrage, the cointegration feature may change and even disappear due to regime shifts. This paper studies the time-consistent mean-variance portfolio problem in a Markov-modulated regime switching cointegration economy....

We investigate a discrete-time mean-risk portfolio selection problem, where risk is measured by the conditional value-at-risk (CVaR). By embedding this time-inconsistent problem into a family of expected utility maximization problems with a piecewise linear utility function, we solve the problem...

We solve for the time consistent dynamic asset allocation of an investor with a mean variance objective function in a multiple assets affine setting. We use as a benchmark the pre-commitment strategy widely used in the literature and assess the potential welfare gains from pre-commitment by...

We introduce the concept of forward rank-dependent performance criteria, extending the original notion to forward criteria that incorporate probability distortions. A fundamental challenge is how to reconcile the time-consistent nature of forward performance criteria with the time-inconsistency...

This study investigates the dynamics of a stochastic hyperbolic discounting model in a continuous-time framework to address the complexities associated with the corporate international investment consumption problem (CIICP). By formulating a dynamic programming equation based on the principles...

Currently, many monetary and fiscal policy measures are aimed at preventing the financial market meltdown that started in the US subprime sector and has spread worldwide as a great recession. Although some slow recovery appears to be on the horizon, it is worthwhile exploring the fragility and...

In the last months, the world's economies were confronted with the largest economic recession since the Great Depression. The occurrence of a worldwide financial market meltdown as a consequence originally stemming from of the crisis in the US subprime housing sector was only prevented by...
