Correspondence between lifetime minimum wealth and utility of consumption
We establish when the two problems of minimizing a function of lifetime minimum wealth and of maximizing utility of lifetime consumption result in the same optimal investment strategy on a given open interval O in wealth space. To answer this question, we equate the two investment strategies and show that if the individual consumes at the same rate in both problems – the consumption rate is a c...
متن کاملEntrepreneurial investment dynamics and the wealth distribution
Using restricted firm level data from the Kauffman Firm Survey, I document that (a) the distribution of average returns to capital amongst nascent entrepreneurial firms is left skewed, and (b) has higher persistence in the left tail than the right. I find that a model where the entrepreneur’s capital investment is illiquid can largely rationalize this data. On average, a continuing entrepreneur...

دراین پروژه به بررسی مدل سازی خشک کردن مواد غذایی با استفاده از هوای خشک در خشک کن آزمایشگاهی نوع سینی دار پرداخته شده است. برای آنالیز انتقال رطوبت در طی خشک شدن به طریق جابجایی، یک مدل لایه نازک برای انتقال رطوبت، مبتنی بر معادله نفوذ فیک در نظر گفته شده است که شامل انتقال همزمان جرم و انرژی بین فاز جامد و گاز می باشد. پروفایل دما و رطوبت برای سه نوع ماده غذایی شامل سیب زمینی، سیب و موز در طی...
15 صفحه اولEvolution of consumption distribution and model of wealth distribution in China between 1995 and 2012
We study the evolution of the distribution of consumption of individuals in the majority population in China during the period 1995–2012 and find that its probability density functions (PDFs) obey the rule Pc(x) = K(x− μ)e − (x−μ)2 2σ2 . We also find (i) that the PDFs and the individual income distribution appear to be identical, (ii) that the peaks of the PDFs of the individual consumption dis...
متن کاملLifetime Earnings and Heterogeneity in Retirement Wealth: the Role of Bequests, Minimum Consumption, and Social Security
Micro data shows a significant dispersion in wealth at retirement at all levels of lifetime earnings and a weak correlation between lifetime earnings and retirement wealth. Previous research has shown that standard models have trouble generating these important features of the data. This paper studies a quantitative general equilibrium lifecycle model with intergenerational links of voluntary a...
