Optimum consumption and portfolio rules in a continuous-time model☆

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.

A particular class of continuous-time stochastic growth models☆

TL;DR: The authors generalizes the one-sector model by transforming the basic differential equation on the capital labor ratio into a stochastic differential equation, whose probability distributions vary with time, and focuses on the existence of a steady state denfined by the (probabilistic) stationarity of these variables.

Property Insurance, Portfolio Selection and Their Interdependence

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the interdependence between property insurance and portfolio selection and found that an increase in volatility would encourage those with a greater-than-unity relative risk aversion to purchase more insurance at the expense of current consumption.

Behavioral Macroeconomics Via Sparse Dynamic Programming

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a behavioral Bellman equation to model boundedly rational dynamic programming, where the agent uses an endogenously simplified or "sparse" model of the world and the consequences of his actions.

Effects of Capital Gains Taxation on Life‐Cycle Investment and Portfolio Management

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the impact of capital income taxation, both accrual forms of taxation and taxation of realized capital gains, on total savings and the demand for corporate financial instruments.

On the theory of sterilized foreign exchange intervention

TL;DR: The authors showed that when taxation is not sufficiently flexible in response to spending shocks, uncovered interest parity is replaced by a monotonically increasing relationship between the stock of domestic currency government debt and domestic interest rates.

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.
