    Worst-case portfolio optimization in a market with bubbles (English)
    0 references
    The paper considers utility maximization in the presence of asset bubbles. Bubbles are modeled via a Markov chain with \(d\) states. When the state is switched into a bubble state, there will be a stopping time at which the bubble will crash determining a negative jump of the stock price. Somewhat in contrast with the economic literature, no characterization of bubbles is offered other than its negative, random impact on prices. Agents follow a max min criterion where minimization is over crash scenarios.
