TLDR
In this paper, the authors considered the continuous-time consumption-portfolio problem for an individual whose income is generated by capital gains on investments in assets with prices assumed to satisfy the geometric Brownian motion hypothesis, which implies that asset prices are stationary and lognormally distributed.

Merton's portfolio optimization problem in a Black and Scholes market with non-Gaussian stochastic volatility of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck type

TL;DR: In this article, the authors study Merton's classical portfolio optimization problem for an investor who can trade in a risk-free bond and a stock, where the goal of the investor is to allocate money so that her expected utility from terminal wealth is maximized.

Portfolio Choice with Internal Habit Formation: A Life-Cycle Model with Uninsurable Labour Income Risk

TL;DR: In this paper, a life-cycle model of consumption and portfolio choice with liquidity constraints, undiversifiable labor income risk and stock-market participation costs is proposed to explain asset pricing puzzles.

Consumption and portfolio rules for time-inconsistent investors

TL;DR: This paper extends the classical consumption and portfolio rules model in continuous time to the framework of decision-makers with time-inconsistent preferences and derives a modified HJB (Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman) equation to solve the problem for sophisticated agents.

Lifetime Portfolio Selection under Uncertainty: The Continuous-Time Case

TL;DR: In this paper, the combined problem of optimal portfolio selection and consumption rules for an individual in a continuous-time model was examined, where his income is generated by returns on assets and these returns or instantaneous "growth rates" are stochastic.

Lifetime Portfolio Selection By Dynamic Stochastic Programming

TL;DR: In this paper, the optimal consumption-investment problem for an investor whose utility for consumption over time is a discounted sum of single-period utilities, with the latter being constant over time and exhibiting constant relative risk aversion (power-law functions or logarithmic functions), is discussed.
