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.

Consumption, Income, and Interest Rates: Reinterpreting the Time Series Evidence

TL;DR: This paper argued that the time-series data on consumption, income, and interest rates are best viewed as generated not by a single representative consumer but by two groups of consumers: half the consumers are forward-looking and consume their permanent income, but are extremely reluctant to substitute consumption temporarily.

Consumption and Portfolio Choice over the Life Cycle

TL;DR: In this article, a realistically calibrated life cycle model of consumption and portfolio choice with non-tradable labor income and borrowing constraints is proposed, and the optimal share invested in equities is roughly decreasing over life.
Journal ArticleDOI

Portfolio selection with transaction costs

TL;DR: It is shown that the optimal buying and selling policies are the local times of the two-dimensional process of bank and stock holdings at the boundaries of a wedge-shaped region which is determined by the solution of a nonlinear free boundary problem.

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.
