Stockholding: Recent Lessons from Theory and Computations

In: Stockholding in Europe

Abstract

This chapter presents recent developments in the theory of optimal portfolio design in a non-technical manner, provides the intuition behind these results, and uses them to interpret important findings in the empirical literature based on high-quality, household-level portfolio data. Where theoretical predictions are confirmed by empirical observation, theory provides a way to interpret empirical findings. Where the two disagree, the mechanisms stressed by theory serve as a first step towards identifying the full set of factors at work and the extent to which household behaviour can be modified to fit objectives better.
