This paper aims at assessing the optimal behavior of a firm facing stochastic costs of production. In an imperfectly competitive setting, we evaluate to what extent a firm may decide to locate part of its production in other markets different from which it is actually settled. This decision is...

This paper explicitly solves, in closed form, the optimal consumption and port folio choice for an ambiguity averse … martingale method to solve the dynamic optimization problem in continuous time.

The adopted class of … preferences permits a three-way separation of risk aversion, ambiguity aversion, and the attitude toward intertemporal … substitution. Ambiguity averse agents are ambiguous about the probability distribution of productivity growth. We show that in the …

This paper develops a tractable dynamic model of competition between two risk-averse portfolio managers who attempt to outperform each other by trading in different stocks, reflecting asset specialization. We characterize explicitly the unique Nash equilibrium portfolio policies, and show that a...

Our structural parameter estimates are comparable with those from …

We consider an investor who faces parameter uncertainty in a continuous-time financial market. We model the investor's preference by a power utility function leading to constant relative risk aversion. We show that the loss in expected utility is large when using a simple plug-in strategy for...
