We derive the process followed by trading volume, in a market with finite depth and constant investment opportunities, where a representative investor, with a long horizon and constant relative risk aversion, trades a safe and a risky asset. Trading volume approximately follows a Gaussian,...

In a market with price-impact proportional to a power of the order flow, we find optimal trading policies and their implied performance for long-term investors who have constant relative risk aversion and trade a safe asset and a risky asset following geometric Brownian motion. These quantities...

We solve a general equilibrium model of an incomplete market with heterogeneous preferences, identifying first-order and second-order effects. Several long-lived agents with different absolute risk-aversion and discount rates make consumption and investment decisions, borrowing from and lending...

Causes of economic, legal and political problems and high rates of unemployment in the RH (Republic of Croatia) are a result of arguably the wrong processes of investment by the state, primarily in physical capital (red curve), instead of people (blue curve), which means that at the national...

We consider a market consisting of one safe and one risky asset, which offer constant investment opportunities. Taking into account both proportional transaction costs and linear price impact, we derive optimal rebalancing policies for representative investors with constant relative risk...

We develop a framework to quantify the vulnerability of mutual funds to fire-sale spillover losses. We account for the first-mover incentive that results from the mismatch between the liquidity offered to redeeming investors and the liquidity of assets held by the funds. In our framework, the...

We develop a model of the feedback between mutual fund outflows and asset illiquidity. Following a market shock, alert investors anticipate the impact on a fund's net asset value (NAV) of other investors' redemptions and exit first at favorable prices. This first-mover advantage may lead to fund...

We study the portfolio selection problem of banks which account for fire-sale spillovers. Our analysis highlights the fundamental trade-off between diversification at the individual and systemic level. While sacrificing individual diversification benefits to reduce portfolio commonality...

I study the general equilibrium of a pure-exchange economy with several agents who receive uninsurable income, trade a dividend-paying stock, and borrow from and lend to each other. Agents are heterogeneous in risk-aversion and time-preference, and hold differing beliefs on the growth rates of...

Open-end mutual funds offer investors same-day liquidity while holding assets that in some cases take several days to sell. This liquidity transformation creates a potentially destabilizing first-mover advantage: when asset prices fall, investors who exit a fund earlier may pass the liquidation...
