Optimal Consumption under Income Uncertainty
A number of authors have examined the problem of the individual’s choice of optimal consumption strategy when faced with income uncertainty, and several important general results have been obtained. [For a partial survey see Hey (1979)]. However, the existence of a significant special case appears to have gone unnoticed. As we demonstrate below, this special case has several interesting propert...
متن کاملOptimal Intertemporal Consumption under Uncertainty
We analyze the optimal consumption program of an infinitely lived consumer who maximizes the discounted sum of utilities subject to a sequence of budget constraints where both the interest rate and his income are stochastic. We show that if the income and interest rate processes are sufficiently stochastic and the long run average rate of interest is greater than or equal to the discount rate, ...
متن کاملSpecialization and Nonrenewable Resources
The one-demand Hotelling model fails to explain the observed specialization of nonrenewable resources. We develop a model with multiple demands and resources to show that specialization of resources according to demand is driven by Ricardian comparative advantage while the order of resource use over time is determined by Ricardian absolute advantage. An abundant resource with absolute advantage...
متن کاملOptimal Consumption Choice under Uncertainty with Intertemporal Substitution†
We extend the analysis of the intertemporal utilitymaximization problem for HindyHuang-Kreps utilities reported in Bank and Riedel (1998) to the stochastic case. Existence and uniqueness of optimal consumption plans are established under arbitrary convex portfolio constraints, including the cases of both complete and incomplete markets. For the complete market setting, Kuhn-Tucker-like necessar...
متن کاملOptimal Robustness under Uncertainty
A. Robustness concern has been long reflected in the decision models under uncertainty since the maxmin expected utility theory. All the models set the degree of robustness concern as fixed across all the payoff profiles. However, a decision maker’s robustness concern may well changes when the certainty part or the unit scale of a payoff profile changes. This paper introduces formally a ...
