Skorohod's representation theorem and optimal strategies for markets with frictions
Abstract
We prove the existence of optimal strategies for agents with cumulative prospect theory preferences who trade in a continuous-time illiquid market, transcending known results which pertained only to risk-averse utility maximizers. The arguments exploit an extension of Skorohod's representation theorem for tight sequences of probability measures. This method is applicable in a number of similar optimization problems.
