A task, such as this one, demands the specific attention to an array of subjects, in which some of these subjects have the property of being true or not.

    The efficient markets hypothesis posits that “security prices fully reflect all available information (Fama, 1991).” In an efficient market, a stock’s price accurately depicts its fundamental value. However, researchers have shown that real markets are actually inefficient, and are hindered by risky arbitrage and irrational investors. Because of market frictions, incomplete information, and systematic biases, stock prices react to changes in uninformed demand in addition to actual fundamental shifts

The model in the short run follows a Dynamic stochastic general equilibrium; this type of model is more complex and allows for it to show economic growth in

    All securities can be divided into parcels of any size. Let R be the expected return of the assets: R = (R1, R2,…..Rn)T Let V be the variance/covariance matrix. It is assumed to be positive definite. σ ij = cov (Ri , Rj) A portfolio X of asset weights is expressed as: X = (x1, x2,……….xn)T. [Note that HT denotes the transpose of a matrix H and xi denotes the weight on asset and ∑xi = 1, where i=1 to n] The expected return of a portfolio is given by E[RX] = XT E[R], and the variance of the
