Futures trading with transaction costs
A model for optimal consumption and investment is posed whose solution is provided by the classical Merton analysis when there is zero transaction cost. A probabilistic argument is developed to identify the loss in value when a proportional transaction cost is introduced. There are two sources of this loss. The first is a loss due to “displacement” that arises because one cannot maintain the op...
متن کاملTrading Regions Under Proportional Transaction Costs
In the Black-Scholes model optimal trading for maximizing expected power utility under proportional transaction costs can be described by three intervals B, NT , S: If the proportion of wealth invested in the stocks lies in B, NT , S, then buying, not trading and selling, respectively, are optimal. For a finite time horizon, the boundaries of these trading regions depend on time and on the term...
متن کاملAdmissible Trading Strategies under Transaction Costs
A well known result in stochastic analysis reads as follows: for an R-valued super-martingale X = (Xt)0≤t≤T such that the terminal value XT is non-negative, we have that the entire process X is nonnegative. An analogous result holds true in the no arbitrage theory of mathematical finance: under the assumption of no arbitrage, a portfolio process x + (H · S) verifying x + (H · S)T ≥ 0 also satis...
متن کاملTransaction Costs and Incentive Theory ∗
This paper tries to reconcile incentive theory with transaction costs theory. We first discuss the fundamental assumptions underlying the use of the Revelation Principle in the standard mechanism design literature and show how various contractual incompletenesses and externalities induced by transaction costs affect the basic trade-off between allocative efficiency and informational rents highl...

According to prospect theory, people are typically risk-averse with respect to gains and risk-seeking with respect to losses, known as the "reflection effect". People are much more sensitive to losses than to gains of the same magnitude, a phenomenon called "loss aversi...
