Portfolio diversification of firms' controlling owners influences their firms' capital investment. Empirically, the … effect of owners' portfolio diversification on their firms' investment levels is positive for publicly-traded firms and tends …

Using a unique data set on German banks' sector specific loan exposures to the real economy and the corresponding write-offs and write-downs, we examine the impact of loan portfolio sector concentration on credit risk. By controlling for common risk factors, we separate the bank-specific...

The maximum diversification portfolio as defined by Choueifaty (2011) depends on the vector of asset volatilities and … that the selected portfolio by regularization is asymptotically efficient with respect to the diversification ratio. In …

We develop and implement methods for determining whether introducing new securities or relaxing investment constraints improves the investment opportunity set for prospect investors. We formulate a new testing procedure for prospect spanning for two nested portfolio sets based on subsampling and...

We investigate what it means for one act to be more ambiguous than another. The question is evidently analogous to asking what makes one prospect riskier than another, but beliefs are neither objective nor representable by a unique probability. Our starting point is an abstract class of...

Using properties of the cdf of a random variable defined as a saddle-type point of a real valued continuous stochastic process, we derive first-order asymptotic properties of tests for stochastic spanning w.r.t. a stochastic dominance relation. First, we define the concept of Markowitz...

We test the out-of-sample trading performance of model-free reinforcement learning (RL) agents and compare them with the performance of equally-weighted portfolios and traditional mean-variance (MV) optimization benchmarks. By dividing European and U.S. indices constituents into factor datasets,...

In terms of proportional losses, a loss of 50% or more of the remaining cash endowment increases diversification … endowment, previous diversification strategy, relative difficulty of questions, the ability level of participants, and other … personal traits. The findings support a prospect theory-based model with a coefficient of loss aversion that is increasing in …

This paper rationalizes the LASSO algorithm based on uncertain fat-tail priors and max-min robust optimization. Our rationalization excludes heuristic learning or restrictive prior assumptions in the original interpretation of LASSO (Tibshirani (1996)). In our setting, economic agents...
