    Abstract

    We investigate the continuity of expected exponential utility maximization
    with respect to perturbation of the Sharpe ratio of markets. By focusing only
    on continuity, we impose weaker regularity conditions than those found in the
    literature. Specifically, for markets of the form $S = M + \int \lambda d<M>$,
    we require a uniform bound on the norm of $\lambda \cdot M$ in a suitable $bmo$
    space.

  2. On the Stability of Utility Maximization Problems.

    Abstract

    In this paper we extend the stability results of [4]}. Our utility
    maximization problem is defined as an essential supremum of conditional
    expectations of the terminal values of wealth processes, conditioned on the
    filtration at the stopping time $\tau$. The stability result, in particular,
    implies that in the framework of [4], the optimal wealth at any given stopping
    time is stable with respect to changes in the Sharpe ratio and initial wealth.
    To establish our results, we extend the classical results of convex analysis to
    maps from $L^0$ to $L^0$.
