We use stochastic optimal control-dynamic programming (DP) to derive the optimal foreign debt/net worth, consumption/net worth, current account/net worth, and endogenous growth rate in an open economy. Unlike the literature that uses an Intertemporal Budget Constraint (IBC) or the Maximum...

The standard literature concerning intertemporal optimization in international finance is based upon certainty equivalence, and ignores risk and uncertainty. It therefore is not helpful concerning risk management and evaluation of the risk involved in the holding of international short-term...

We use stochastic optimal control-dynamic programming (DP) to derive the optimal foreign debt/net worth, consumption/net worth, current account/net worth, and endogenous growth rate in an open economy. Unlike the literature that uses an Intertemporal Budget Constraint (IBC) or the Maximum...

Is it really possible to control for the downside risk when the market environment is in constant evolution? If so, what would be the long-term growth prospects of such a strategy? We show in this article that when the dynamics of the variance and correlation terms are properly taken into...

The standard model of inter-temporal optimization is based upon certainty equivalence and ignores risk and uncertainty. We solve a modification of the standard model of inter-temporal optimization in an environment where the return to capital is stochastic, and we impose the constraint that...
