On the strategic behavior of large investors: A mean-variance portfolio approach

Marcelo Villena and Lorenzo Reus

European Journal of Operational Research, 2016, vol. 254, issue 2, 679-688

Abstract: One key assumption of Markowitz’s model is that all traders act as price takers. In this paper, we extend this mean-variance approach in a setting where large investors can move prices. Instead of having an individual optimization problem, we find the investors’ Nash equilibrium and redefine the efficient frontier in this new framework.
