Optimal consumption and portfolio strategies when relative risk aversion from consumption differs from relative risk aversion from wealth
Relative risk aversion (RRA) of consumption (RRAC) differs from RRA of wealth (RRAW) is an empirical fact explained in the study of Meyer and Meyer (2005). However dynamic consumption/ investment problems are only solved in the finance literature when both RRA equal (RRAC = RRAW). Following the martingale route, we derive optimal consumption and investment solutions for a (CRRA) investor when b...
متن کاملOptimal investment under operational flexibility, risk aversion, and uncertainty
Traditional real options analysis addresses the problem of investment under uncertainty assuming a risk-neutral decision maker and complete markets. In reality, however, decision makers are often risk averse and markets are incomplete. We confirm that risk aversion lowers the probability of investment and demonstrate how this effect can be mitigated by incorporating operational flexibility in t...
متن کاملTime Dependent Relative Risk Aversion
Risk management and the thorough understanding of the relations between financial markets and the standard theory of macroeconomics have always been among the topics most addressed by researchers, both financial mathematicians and economists. This work aims at explaining investors’ behavior from a macroeconomic aspect (modeled by the investors’ pricing kernel and their relative risk aversion) u...
متن کاملOptimal Consumption and Investment with a Wealth-Dependent Time-Varying Investment Opportunity
We study an optimization problem of an investor in which there is a better investment opportunity when he is rich than when he is poor. We model the betterment of the investment opportunity by considering an exogenously specified wealth threshold such that the investor’s investment opportunity is better when his wealth is above the threshold than when it is below the threshold. We derive a clos...
متن کاملTime-varying risk aversion and unexpected inflation
We formulate a consumption-based asset pricing model in which aggregate risk aversion is time-varying in response to both news about consumption growth (as in a habit formation model) and news about inflation. We estimate our model and explore its pricing implications for the term structure of interest rates and the cross-section of stock returns. Our empirical results support the hypothesis th...
