We develop a model of one representative agent and one asset. The agent evaluates the earnings according to Prospect Theory and he does not know exactly the stochastic process generating earnings. While the earnings are generated by a random walk process, the agent considers a Markovian process, according to which firm’s earnings move between two regimes, represented by a mean-reverting process...

We first look for the optimal portfolio in an artificial financial market, where the asset returns are generated such that each return is endowed with some desired statistical properties (i.e. the ...
