Optimal Investment with Undiversifiable Income Risk
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper treats the problem of consumption and portfolio choice in continuous time, with stochastic income that cannot be replicated by trading the available securities. The optimal controls and value functions are characterized in terms of the viscosity solution of the associated Hamilton-JacobiBellman equation, which is shown to exist and is characterized. The optimal policy is then given from the first-order conditions of the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation.

The finance literature documents the relation between labor income and the crosssection of stock returns. A possible explanation is the hedging of investors with relative wealth concerns who pay a premium for securities that help them to keep up with their peers. Relative wealth concerns imply a local effect and a negative risk premium associated with the risk factor, since investors are willin...

متن کاملRural Investment and the Dynamic Cost of Income Uncertainty
This paper studies optimal investment and the dynamic cost of income uncertainty, applying a stochastic programming approach. The motivation is given by a case study in Finnish agriculture. Investment decision is modelled as a Markov decision process, extended to account for risk. A numerical model for computing the dynamic uncertainty cost is presented, applying the classical expected value of...
