On the problem of optimal investment with random endowment in incomplete markets

Dmitry Kramkov, Carnegie Mellon University

 

Recently J. Cvitanic, W. Schachermayer and Wang H. studied the problem of optimal investment with random endowment using a duality approach. In contrast with the classical case (no endowment) the solution of the dual problem defined in their paper exists provided its domain includes general linear functionals on $ L^\infty$, i.e. finitely additive measures.
In this paper we formulate and study a new dual problem to the problem of optimal investment with random endowment. This approach permits us to prove the existence of the solution of the dual problem in $ L^1$, which is similar to the classical case. Is is also useful for other applications in finance such as the utility based pricing. The presentation is based on a joint project with Julian Hugonnier.
