Instead of using the classical block-shaped market depth to build the optimal execution model, this work studies the constrained optimal execution problem in a limit order book (LOB) market with a power-shaped market depth. Different from the linear price impact derived from the framework of...

Even though a consensus has been reached a long time ago that the interest rate is a stochastic process, most of the existing works on dynamic mean-downside risk portfolio selection still focus on a deterministic interest rate. This work studies a dynamic mean-downside risk portfolio selection...

The housing markets have played an important role in macroeconomic fluctuations, especially during the recent financial crisis. We investigate the correlation between housing dynamics and the business cycle for a variety of countries. Our empirical results exhibit the two daunting facts faced by...

This paper studies the dynamic mean-risk portfolio optimization problem with variance and Value-at-Risk(VaR) as the risk measures in recognizing the importance of incorporating different risk measures in the portfolio management model. Using the martingale approach and combining it with the...
