Investment Policies under Semivariance
نویسنده
چکیده
Downside deviation, semivariance, or the second lower partial moment are different names for the same risk measure, proposed in the literature for capturing the downside risk of investment decisions. This paper analyzes multiperiod decision making under such a risk measure, and finds that a V-shaped decision rule in wealth is prevalent for the most common assumptions on the distribution of uncertainty. Given that a V-shaped rule is acceptable nor desirable in practice, the use of semivariance needs a reconsideration in terms of its plausibility for guiding actual decision making in investment and elsewhere.

Portfolio selection based on fuzzy cross-entropy
In this paper, the Kapur cross-entropy minimization model for portfolio selection problem is discussed under fuzzy environment, which minimizes the divergence of the fuzzy investment return from a priori one. First, three mathematical models are proposed by defining divergence as cross-entropy, average return as expected value and risk as variance, semivariance and chance of bad outcome, respec...
متن کاملAn Entropy Method for Diversified Fuzzy Portfolio Selection
This paper proposes an entropy method for diversified fuzzy portfolio selection. Proportion entropy is introduced and credibilistic mean-variance and mean-semivariance diversification models for fuzzy portfolio selection are proposed. The crisp forms of the proposed models are also provided when the security returns are all triangular fuzzy variables. As an illustration, an application example ...

The objective of this study is to highlight pros and cons of two incentive policies, namely (1) incentive on manufacturer’s R&D investment and (2) direct incentive to consumer based on greening level of the product on...
متن کاملIrreversible abatement investment under cost uncertainties: tradable emission permits and emissions charges
A major concern with tradable emission permits is that stochastic permit prices may reduce a firm’s incentive to invest in abatement capital or technologies relative to other policies such as a fixed emissions charge. However, under efficient permit trading, the permit price uncertainty is caused by abatement cost uncertainties which affect investment under both permit and charge policies. We d...
