Optimal Investment, Consumption and Life Insurance under Mean-Reverting Returns: The Complete Market Solution
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper considers the problem of optimal investment, consumption and life insurance acquisition for a wage earner who has CRRA (constant relative risk aversion) preferences. The market model is complete, continuous, the uncertainty is driven by Brownian motion and the stock price has mean reverting drift. The problem is solved by dynamic programming approach and the HJB equation is shown to have closed form solution. Numerical experiments explore the impact market price of risk has on the optimal strategies.

This paper explicitly solves, in closed form, the optimal consumption and portfolio choice for an ambiguity averse investor in a Merton-type two assets economy where a risk premium follows a mean-reverting process. The investor’s preferences are represented by the recursive multiple priors utility model developed by Chen and Epstein (2002). The investor’s utility depends on both intermediate co...
