Utility Maximization in a Large Market

Abstract: We study the problem of expected utility maximization in a large market, i.e., a market with countably many traded assets. Assuming that agents have von NeumannMorgenstern preferences with stochastic utility function and that consumption occurs according to a stochastic clock, we obtain the "usual" conclusions of the utility maximization theory. We also give a characterization of the value function in a large market in terms of a sequence of value functions in finite-dimensional models.

“…Such results are standard for finitely many assets (see the references in [17]), but in the present context we face infinite-dimensional portfolios. In the setting of APT, we mention [20], which relies on the notion of generalized portfolios. Utility functions defined on the real line (i.e., admitting losses) have been considered in [12,13] (we expose the differences between these two papers and ours in Remark 3.2).…”

“…This theory stochastic integration has found applications to mathematical finance, in particular in modelling large markets (see e.g. [7,35]). In the following paragraphs we describe the main ideas in the construction of the stochastic integral introduced in [8].…”

“…Remark 4.8. The only papers in the existing literature that are closely related to ours are [9] and [26], where the expected utility of an investor is maximized in a continuous-time large financial market over a set of "generalized portfolios". The first paper is about maximizing terminal utility while the second paper deals with utility from consumption, allowing random utility functions and a stochastic clock.…”
