Realism and practicality of transaction cost approaches in continuous-time portfolio optimisation: the scope of the Morton-Pliska approach
We review some different approaches to treat the continuous-time portfolio problem under transaction costs and highlight the difficulties with their application to real-world tasks. In particular, we point out the problems and possibilities of using the Morton and Pliska (1995) approach and its asymptotic variant in reality. Copyright Springer-Verlag 2004
