We provide sufficient conditions for the persistence or transience of stochastic processes on the real line based on the behavior of the first and second moments of their conditional increments at the boundaries. Our findings extend previous results in the literature (Lamperti, 1960) to the large class of discrete-time processes with bounded increments. We present some examples of application by studying the survival and dominance of agents trading incomplete financial markets.

Abstract
We provide sufficient conditions for the persistence or transience of stochastic processes on the real line based on the behavior of the first and second moments of their conditional increments at the boundaries. Our findings extend previous results in the literature (Lamperti, 1960) to the large class of discrete-time processes with bounded increments. We present some examples of application by studying the survival and dominance of agents trading incomplete financial markets.File in questo prodotto:
