We study consumption-portfolio and asset pricing frameworks with recursive preferences and unspanned risk. We show that in both cases, portfolio choice and asset pricing, the value function of the investor/representative agent can be characterized by a specific semilinear partial differential...

We study continuous-time optimal consumption and investment with Epstein-Zin recursive preferences in incomplete markets. We develop a novel approach that rigorously constructs the solution of the associated Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation by a fixed point argument and makes it possible to...

In this paper, we investigate the following problem: How can a financial institution, which has sold an option to a client, optimally hedge the payoff of this option by investing into a stock and into the option itself? Optimality is measured in terms of minimal variance and the associated...

In an incomplete market we study the optimal consumption-portfolio decision of an investor with recursive preferences of Epstein-Zin type. Applying a classical dynamic programming approach, we formulate the associated Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation and provide a suitable verification theorem....

This paper describes a robust continuous-time asset-liability management problem under Markov regime-switching. Firstly, we use the "homothetic robustness" methodology, which preserves the performance of robustness independent with wealth process, to protect the ALM model not only run well in...

This paper develops a dynamic portfolio selection model incorporating economic uncertainty for business cycles. It is assumed that the financial market at each point in time is defined by a hidden Markov model, which is characterized by the overall equity market returns and volatility. The risk...

We explore how members of a collective pension scheme can share inflation risks in the absence of suitable financial market instruments. Using intergenerational risk sharing arrangements, risks can be allocated better across the various participants of a collective pension scheme than would be...
