This paper considers an asset allocation strategy over a finite period under investment uncertainty and short-sale constraints as a continuous time stochastic control problem. Investment uncertainty is characterised by a stochastic interest rate and inflation risk. If there are no short-sale...

This paper studies intertemporal investment strategies under inflation risk by extending the intertemporal framework of Merton (1973) to include a stochastic price index. The stochastic price index gives rise to a two-tier evaluation system: agents maximize their utility of consumption in real...

This paper proposes and analyses a term structure model that allows for both stochastic correlation between underlying factors and an extended market price of risk specification. The issues of invariant transformation and different normalization are then considered so that a comparison between...

Recently, Campbell and Viceira (2002) have introduced a framework that allows for dynamic decisions in asset allocation. This paper follows up their work by showing how uncertainties and expectations may affect consumption and portfolio decisions in an intertemporal dynamic framework. We use the...

The aim of this paper is to develop an optimal long-term bond investment strategy which can be applied to real market situations. This paper employs Merton’s intertemporal framework to accommodate the features of a stochastic interest rate and the time-varying dynamics of bond returns. The...

This paper introduces an easy to follow method for continuous time model estimation. It serves as an introduction on how to convert a state space model from continuous time to discrete time, how to decompose a hybrid stochastic model into a trend model plus a noise model, how to estimate the...

In this paper we build a hierarchically structured continuous-time model of Keynesian monetary growth. The model is sufficiently rich with respect to markets, sectors and agents and consistent with respect to budget constraints to capture sufficient broad details of actual macroeconomies and so...

In this paper we consider the 18D case model of applied disequilibrium growth whose extensive and intensive form dynamics we derived in earliier work. Here we analyze in particular the basic partial feedback mechanisms whose interaction drives the dynamics of the overall model. We relate these...
