Comparative Statics of Trading Boundary in Finite Horizon Portfolio Selection with Proportional Transaction Costs
We consider the Merton's problem with proportional transaction costs. It is well-known that the optimal investment strategy is characterized by two trading boundaries, i.e., the buy boundary and the sell boundary, between which is the no-trading region. We study how the two trading boundaries vary with transaction costs. We reveal that the cost-adjusted trading boundaries are monotone in transaction costs. Our result indicates that (i) the Merton line must lie between two cost-adjusted trading boundaries; (ii) when the Merton line is positive, the buy boundary and the sell boundary are monotone in transaction costs and the Merton line lies in the no-trading region as a result.

We develop conditions under which individual choices and Walrasian equilibrium prices and allocations can be exactly inferred from finite market data. First, we consider market data that consist of individual demands as …
