abstract

since the rate of return on different opportunities for investment is random, the optimal distribution of ones capital is put foreward as a stochastic control problem. in this paper, using modem techniques in the theory of random functions and the stochsatic calculus, the problem is discussed for the case when the information possessed by the different investors, as well as their probability beliefs is varied. it is proved that if -the participants could agree an the «impossibility» of events then «mutual funds» could be formed from which every investor could chose a suitable combination according to his information and probability beliefs, so as to maximite his utility function.

Heterogeneous Information and Investment under Uncertainty **

A sudden change in investment environment shifts objective uncertainty (characterized by parameters that determine the distribution of returns) and at the same time heightens subjective uncertainty (about the data generating parameters) unevenly across investors. For a given state of economy, the uncertainty facing the investor is the sum of the uncertainty in the data and the uncertainty of th...

Optimism has a first-order effect on incentives, investments, and output, which could reconcile the private equity puzzle. Asymmetric beliefs cause optimal contracts to have features consistent with observed venture capital and research and development (R...

Dynamic Investment under Asymmetric Information

TAbstract T—This paper develops a tractable real options framework to analyze the effects of asymmetric information on firms' investment decisions when firms issue equity to finance investment. We assume that firm insiders exactly know the firms' growth prospects, but outside investors do not know. Our analysis shows that, under equity financing, the corporate insiders can signal their private ...

Dynamic Contracting under Imperfect Public Information and Asymmetric Beliefs∗

We develop a dynamic principal–agent model to show how imperfect public information and asymmetric beliefs, asymmetric risk attitudes, complementary actions by both parties, and inter-temporal adverse selection arising from the agent’s unobservable actions interact to affect optimal dynamic contracts. Our continuous-time formulation of the model, which features both “hidden actions” and “hidden...
