The Reliability of Estimation Procedures in Portfolio Analysis

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  19 October 2009

Extract

The Markowitz model for the efficient diversification of investments [12] has, over the years since its original formulation, provided the basis for many investigations into the question of portfolio selection. Amongst the more notable contributions to the theory are the works of Fama [6] and Mandelbrot [11], Smith [17], Latané [10], Arditti [1], and Blume [2].
