Approximating closed form solutions to a class of feedback policies
(Discussion paper, Working paper, 2009-09)Dynamic optimization problems cover a large class of problems in theoretical and applied economics. A simple iterative algorithm with fast convergence is proposed. It is demonstrated that the algorithm in a few steps ... -
An arbitrary benchmark CAPM : one additional frontier portfolio is sufficient
(Discussion paper, Working paper, 2008-10)The benchmark CAPM linearly relates the expected returns on an arbitrary asset, an arbitrary benchmark portfolio, and an arbitrary MV frontier portfolio. The benchmark is not required to be on the frontier and may be ... -
