Portfolio Life Cycle Selection – Theory and Experiment
In this paper, I compare the results from a laboratory experiment, in which individuals could allocate their funds between a risky asset and a risk-free zero return fund, with stochastic dynamic optimization policies based on expected utility maximization. Specifically, I focus on the predictions based on a negative exponential and concave quadratic utility. In addition, I look at the applicabi...
متن کاملHyperbolic Discounting and Life-Cycle Portfolio Choice
This paper studies how hyperbolic discounting affects stock market participation, asset allocation, and saving decisions over the life cycle in an economy with Epstein-Zin preferences. Hyperbolic discounting affects saving and portfolio decisions through at least two channels: (1) it lowers desired saving, which decreases financial wealth relative to future earnings; and (2) it lowers the incen...
متن کاملAmbiguity and Portfolio Inertia
In this paper the Portfolio Choice problem is studied under ambiguity, formalized by means of the Choquet Expected Utility. Agents are supposed to be Choquet Expected Utility maximizers and are split into two categories: optimists, who hold a concave capacity, and pessimists, who hold a convex one. Portfolio inertia is defined and analyzed. Necessary and sufficient conditions are established be...
متن کاملAssessing the performance of life-cycle portfolio allocation strategies for retirement saving: a simulation study.
This article examines the performance of four life-cycle portfolio allocation strategies through stochastic simulation based on observed U.S. asset returns during 1926-2008. Annual worker contributions to retirement savings accounts are based on the actual lifetime earnings histories maintained by the Social Security Administration for 12,871 workers born during 1915-1942. Each strategy's perfo...
متن کاملPortfolio Allocation over the Life Cycle: Evidence from Swedish Household Data
This paper provides empirical evidence on life-cycle patterns in the asset allocation of Swedish households. Data on household portfolio allocation are collected from the HINK surveys for the period 1982-1992, and portfolio shares of different asset categories are regressed on age, period, and cohort dummies as well as socio-economic and demographic variables. There are evident differences in t...
