Ambiguity and Portfolio Inertia

چکیده
In this paper the Portfolio Choice problem is studied under ambiguity, formalized by means of the Choquet Expected Utility. Agents are supposed to be Choquet Expected Utility maximizers and are split into two categories: optimists, who hold a concave capacity, and pessimists, who hold a convex one. Portfolio inertia is defined and analyzed. Necessary and sufficient conditions are established between a specific structure of agents’ beliefs, namely belief commonality, and Portfolio Inertia.

Robust portfolio selection with polyhedral ambiguous inputs
Ambiguity in the inputs of the models is typical especially in portfolio selection problem where the true distribution of random variables is usually unknown. Here we use robust optimization approach to address the ambiguity in conditional-value-at-risk minimization model. We obtain explicit models of the robust conditional-value-at-risk minimization for polyhedral and correlated polyhedral am...
متن کاملAmbiguity Theory and Asset Pricing: Empirical Evidence from Tehran Stock Exchange
Modern portfolio theory is based on the relationship between risk and return and in this paper, specific uncertainty conditions are introduced as ambiguity which affects the asset pricing. Also, the relationship between risk, ambiguity and return is examined. First, ambiguity is estimated by the means of three-variable and main component method, trading volume, ask-bid spread, error of earnings...
متن کاملAmbiguity aversion and household portfolio choice puzzles: Empirical evidence.
We test the relation between ambiguity aversion and five household portfolio choice puzzles: nonparticipation in equities, low allocations to equity, home-bias, own-company stock ownership, and portfolio under-diversification. In a representative US household survey, we measure ambiguity preferences using custom-designed questions based on Ellsberg urns. As theory predicts, ambiguity aversion i...
متن کاملOptimal Consumption and Portfolio Choice under Ambiguity for a Mean-reverting Risk Premium in Complete Markets
This paper explicitly solves, in closed form, the optimal consumption and portfolio choice for an ambiguity averse investor in a Merton-type two assets economy where a risk premium follows a mean-reverting process. The investor’s preferences are represented by the recursive multiple priors utility model developed by Chen and Epstein (2002). The investor’s utility depends on both intermediate co...
متن کاملOptimal consumption and portfolio choice with ambiguity and anticipation
This paper, adopting the recursive multiple-priors utility, studies the optimal consumption and portfolio choice in a Merton-style model with anticipation when there is a difference between ambiguity and risk. The fundamental issue is what the effects of ambiguity and anticipation on the investor’s behavior are. In the case of a logarithmic felicity function, the paper also shows that no hedgin...
