On-line portfolio selection using stochastic programming

Article Abstract:

The family of adaptive portfolio selection policies, which rebalance the current portfolio during each decision period by adopting portfolio from a specified family with the best performance on the past data, is proposed. In the absence of transaction costs, the general conditions are found under which the policy yields asymptotically the same performance as the best portfolio from the same family constructed with the full knowledge of the future.

International portfolio choice, liquidity constraints and the home equity bias puzzle

Article Abstract:

The problem of optimal international portfolio choices is solved in the presence of liquidity constraints and undiversifiable labor income risk. It is found that the benefits of international diversification are limited because consumption fluctuations can be smoothed with a small amount of buffer saving, while exchange rate risk makes foreign investments less appealing to risk averse investors.
