This paper studies the utility maximization problem on the terminal wealth with both random endowments and proportional transaction costs. To deal with unbounded random payoffs from some illiquid claims, we propose to work with the acceptable portfolios defined via the consistent price system...

We apply stochastic Perron's method to a singular control problem where an individual targets at a given consumption rate, invests in a risky financial market in which trading is subject to proportional transaction costs, and seeks to minimize her probability of lifetime ruin. Without relying on...

We prove the Fundamental Theorem of Asset Pricing for a discrete time financial market where trading is subject to proportional transaction cost and the asset price dynamic is modeled by a family of probability measures, possibly non-dominated.Using a backward-forward scheme, we show that when...

We analyze the optimal dividend payment problem in the dual model under constant transaction costs. We show, for a general spectrally positive Levy process, an optimal strategy is given by a (c1, c2)-policy that brings the surplus process down to c1 whenever it reaches or exceeds c2 for some...
