Conglomeration and consolidation in the financial system broaden the activities financial institutions are undertaking and cause them to become more homogenous.Although resulting diversification gains make each institution appear less risky, we argue that financial stability may not improve as...

An investor with constant relative risk aversion trades a safe and several risky assets with constant investment opportunities. For a small fixed transaction cost, levied on each trade regardless of its size, we explicitly determine the leading-order corrections to the frictionless value...

The paper deals with a model of the homogenized fluid saturated porous material which recently was obtained by the authors using the asymptotic analysis of the Biot type medium characterized by the double porosity. The homogenized macroscopic model is featured by the fading memory effects...

We consider a general class of piecewise-deterministic Markov processes with multiple time-scales. In line with recent results on the stochastic averaging principle for these processes, we obtain a description of their law through an asymptotic expansion. We further study the fluctuations around...
