Focuses on a study which developed a framework for forecast and decision horizons. Definition of finite and infinite horizon stochastic optimization problems for a given forecast; Description of the general framework; Conditions for the existence of a solution horizon; Development of sufficient...

We consider the basic problem of refi tting a time series over a finite period of time and formulate it as a stochastic dynamic program. By changing the underlying Markov decision process we are able to obtain a model that at optimality considers historical data as well as forecasts of future...

This paper presents the theoretical and applicative model elaborated by Harry Markowitz on the determination of the structure of the efficient securities portfolio. In this sense, in order to determine the structure of the efficient Markowitz portfolio (PE), a Lagrange function is built and...
