The paper studies dynamic equilibria in international financial markets with consumption and portfolio optimizing agents. The arising stochastic dymanic optimization problems with state variable (in particular: liquidity) constraints are analyzed by means of the adjoint/Euler equation for the...

The paper derives the adjoint/Euler equation for the co-state process of optimal control of diffusions in both integral and differential forms, as a part of the Stochastic Maximum Principle. The result is applied to the consumption and portfolio selection problems with statevariable-dependen t...

The paper proposes a model of multiple dealer forex trade in two variants: for direct and brokered market organization. The equilibrium order flow pattern is derived as a function of shadow prices (marginal valuations) of FX holdings across market participants. The shadow currency values can be...
