New methods evaluate stock market anomalies for prospect investors.
We study optimal investment problems under the framework of cumulative prospect theory (CPT). A CPT investor makes investment decisions in a single-period financial market with transaction costs. The objective is to seek the optimal investment strategy that maximizes the prospect value of the investor's final wealth. W…
We treat a fairly broad class of financial models which includes markets with proportional transaction costs. We consider an investor with cumulative prospect theory preferences and a non-negativity constraint on portfolio wealth. The existence of an optimal strategy is shown in this context in a class of generalized s…
This paper examines an optimal investment problem in a continuous-time (essentially) complete financial market with a finite horizon. We deal with an investor who behaves consistently with principles of Cumulative Prospect Theory, and whose utility function on gains is bounded above. The well-posedness of the optimisat…
Corporate transparency reduces investors' disposition effect by increasing confidence in holding profitable and losing stocks.
We consider an arbitrage-free, discrete time and frictionless market. We prove that an investor maximising the expected utility of her terminal wealth can always find an optimal investment strategy provided that her dissatisfaction of infinite losses is infinite and her utility function is non-decreasing, continuous an…
Generative tools mimic stock market traders using synthetic data.
Most decision theories, including expected utility theory, rank dependent utility theory and cumulative prospect theory, assume that investors are only interested in the distribution of returns and not in the states of the economy in which income is received. Optimal payoffs have their lowest outcomes when the economy …
This study examines how earnings announcements affect option volatility and pricing.
We introduce an equilibrium asset pricing model, which we build on the relationship between a novel risk measure, the Expected Downside Risk (EDR) and the expected return. On the one hand, our proposed risk measure uses a nonparametric approach that allows us to get rid of any assumption on the distribution of returns.…
Optimizes portfolio growth rate for a behavioral investor considering terminal relative growth rate.
Novel framework for portfolio selection considering utility and risk.
Study shows short exposure and systematic risk exposure affect disposition effect asymmetries.
Study models human investors' sub-rational behavior in financial markets.
Prospective learning improves AI performance in changing conditions.
Prospect theory is widely viewed as the best available descriptive model of how people evaluate risk in experimental settings. According to prospect theory, people are risk-averse with respect to gains and risk-seeking with respect to losses, a phenomenon called "loss aversion". Despite of the fact that prospect theory…
Develops a new learning framework for dynamic data.
Retrospective and prospective analysis of Diebold-Yilmaz connectedness research.
We explain the main concepts of Prospect Theory and Cumulative Prospect Theory within the framework of rational dynamic asset pricing theory. We derive option pricing formulas when asset returns are altered with a generalized Prospect Theory value function or a modified Prelec weighting probability function and introdu…
In this paper we build a method to optimize Multi-Year Prospective Budgets. First we present a systemic model of Local Community Finances. Then, from two acceptable Multi-Year Prospective Budgets the method implements a Genetic Algorithm to generate a collection of admissible Multi-Year Prospective Budgets among which …
A microeconomic approach is proposed to derive the fluctuations of risky asset price, where the market participants are modeled as prospect trading agents. As asset price is generated by the temporary equilibrium between demand and supply, the agents' trading behaviors can affect the price process in turn, which is cal…
Agent optimizes risky asset trading times based on Prospect Theory.
In discrete time markets with proportional transaction costs, Schachermayer (2004) shows that robust no-arbitrage is equivalent to the existence of a strictly consistent price system. In this paper, we introduce the concept of prospective strict no-arbitrage that is a variant of the strict no-arbitrage property from Ka…
New method extends supervised learning for non-stationary control problems.
In this article, inspired by Shi, et al. we investigate the optimal portfolio selection with one risk-free asset and one risky asset in a multiple period setting under cumulative prospect theory (CPT). Compared with their study, our novelty is that we consider a stochastic benchmark, and portfolio constraints. We test …
The most commonly accepted model for investors' preferences is expected utility theory. More recently, other theories have emerged and pose new challenges to mathematics. The present paper treats preferences of cumulative prospect theory (CPT), where an "S-shaped" utility function is considered (i.e. convex up to a cer…
The study compares parametric and nonparametric models for estimating mean-variance mixtures and finds that nonparametric models perform better.
Optimizes portfolios using CPT utility via convex optimization.
Matching Markets meet Cumulative Prospect Theory: Towards Optimal and Adversarially Robust Learning
The prospects of Kahneman and Tversky, Mega Million and Powerball lotteries, St. Petersburg paradox, premature profits and growing losses criticized by Livermore are reviewed under an angle of view comparing mathematical expectations with awards received. Original prospects have been formulated as a one time opportunit…
Study derives new equation for reserves in non-monotone information scenarios.
Decision maker's preferences are often captured by some choice functions which are used to rank prospects. In this paper, we consider ambiguity in choice functions over a multi-attribute prospect space. Our main result is a robust preference model where the optimal decision is based on the worst-case choice function fr…

This paper analyzes how multiple investors can exploit relative arbitrage opportunities.
Although the understanding of and motivation behind individual trading behavior is an important puzzle in finance, little is known about the connection between an investor's portfolio structure and her trading behavior in practice. In this paper, we investigate the relation between what stocks investors hold, and what …
