Reinforcement Learning for Jump‐Diffusions, With Financial Applications
Mathematical Finance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We study continuous‐time reinforcement learning (RL) for stochastic control in which system dynamics are governed by jump‐diffusion processes. We formulate an entropy‐regularized exploratory control problem with stochastic policies to capture the exploration–exploitation balance essential for RL.

Never, Ever Getting Started: On Prospect Theory Without Commitment
Mathematical Finance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Prospect theory is arguably the most prominent alternative to expected utility theory. We study the investment or gambling behavior of a prospect theory decision maker who is aware of his time‐inconsistency but lacks commitment. For the empirically relevant prospect theory specifications, we obtain the extreme prediction that such a decision ...

Equilibrium Reward for Liquidity Providers in Automated Market Makers
Mathematical Finance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We find the equilibrium contract that an automated market maker (AMM) offers to their strategic liquidity providers (LPs) in order to maximize the order flow that gets processed by the venue. Our model is formulated as a leader–follower stochastic game, where the venue is the leader and a representative LP is the follower.

Random Carbon Tax Policy and Investment Into Emission Abatement Technologies
Mathematical Finance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We analyze the problem of a profit‐maximizing electricity producer, subject to carbon taxes, who decides on investments into CO2$\rm CO_2$ abatement technologies. We assume that the carbon tax policy is random and that the investment in the abatement technology is divisible, irreversible, and subject to transaction costs.

A Model of Strategic Sustainable Investment
Mathematical Finance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We study a problem of optimal irreversible investment and emission reduction formulated as a nonzero‐sum dynamic game between an investor with environmental preferences and a firm. The game is set in continuous‐time on an infinite‐time horizon.

Mathematical Finance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We study a dynamic portfolio optimization problem under the mean–variance–variance (M‐V‐V) criterion proposed by Maccheroni et al. It is an analogue of the Arrow–Pratt approximation to the well‐known smooth ambiguity model. Under the standard Black–Scholes framework, we derive fully explicit equilibrium investment strategies in which a DM's ...

On the Exact Limiting Distribution of a Volatility Target Index
Mathematical Finance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Assuming a lognormal distribution for the underlying risky asset, we study the limiting distribution of a volatility target index as the rebalancing time step approaches zero. Two limit theorems (a strong law of large numbers and a central limit theorem) are established, and as an application, the exact limiting distribution is derived.

Market Making With Fads, Informed, and Uninformed Traders
Mathematical Finance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We characterize the solution to a continuous‐time optimal liquidity provision problem in a market populated by informed and uninformed traders. In our model, the asset price exhibits fads —these are short‐term deviations from the fundamental value of the asset.

Variance Ratio Tests for Panels With Cross‐Section Dependence
Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper develops panel variance ratio statistics to examine serial dependence in time series with cross‐sectional dependence. We derive asymptotic properties for panels where the cross‐section dimension N$$ N $$ is fixed or grows with T. Using a factor structure to explain cross‐sectional dependence, we propose a common correlation effects ...

Stochastic integrals of point processes and the decomposition of two-parameter martingales
Journal of Multivariate Analysis, 1989 Let M be a two-parameter square-integrable martingale with trajectories that have limits in all quadrants and are continuous from the right. The paper gives the decomposition of M into four orthogonal components: \(M=\sum^{4}_{i=1}M_ i,\) where \(M_ 1\) is continuous, \(M_ 2\) is purely discontinuous, \(M_ 3\) and \(M_ 4\) are continuous in one ...
