Health Risk and Portfolio Choice
This paper investigates the role of self-perceived risky health in explaining continued reductions in financial risk taking after retirement. If future adverse health shocks threaten to increase the marginal utility of consumption, either by absorbing wealth or by changing the utility function, then health risk should prompt individuals to lower their exposure to financial risk. I examine indiv...
متن کاملOptimal portfolio choice and stochastic volatility
In this paper we examine the effect of stochastic volatility on optimal portfolio choice in both partial and general equilibrium settings. In a partial equilibrium setting we derive an analog of the classic Samuelson–Merton optimal portfolio result and define volatility-adjusted risk aversion as the effective risk aversion of an individual investing in an asset with stochastic volatility. We ex...

The individual has a demand for hedging financial risk, labor income risk, and also ...

This illiquid asset, which depends on an uninsurable source of risk, provides a liquid dividend. In the case of human capital ...

We consider the Merton problem of optimal portfolio choice when the traded instruments are the set of zero-coupon bonds. Working within a Markovian Heath–Jarrow–Morton model of the interest rate term structure driven by an infinite-dimensional Wiener process, we give sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of an optimal trading strategy. When there is uniqueness, we provide a cha...
