This paper provides a computational technique for the evaluation of the net present value (NPV) of an investment, in which the cash inflows occur at random time points and which terminates after a fixed time interval. The initial cash outlay is deterministic and the magnitudes of the cash...

This paper provides a computational technique for the evaluation of the distribution of the net present value (NPV) of an investment, in which the cash inflows occur at random time points, as in the case of venture capital. The initial cash outlay is deterministic and the magnitudes of the cash...

The effect of convex transactions costs on consumers' derived utility functions and on optimal consumption and investment decisions is examined in a general multiperiod framework. The extent to which multiperiod consumption-investment behavior and capital market equilibrium may be studied in a...

A continuous time model of cash management is formulated with stochastic demand and allowing for positive and negative cash balances. The form of the optimal policy is assumed to be of a simple form (d, D, U, u). The parameters of the optimal policy are explicitly evaluated and the properties of...

Kamin's theorem [Kamin, Jules H. 1975. Optimal portfolio revision with a proportional transaction cost. Management Sci. 21 (11, July).] on portfolio revision with proportional transaction costs is extended to allow for hyperbolic absolute risk averse investors and for the possibility of...
