Optimal investment, stochastic labor income and retirement
نویسندگان
چکیده
We address the optimal consumption-investment-retirement problem considering stochastic labor income. We study the Merton problem assuming that the agent has to take four different decisions: the retirement date which is irreversible; the labor and the consumption rate and the portfolio decision before retirement. After retirement the agent only chooses the portfolio and the consumption rate. We confirm some classical results and we show that labor, portfolio and retirement decisions interact in a complex way depending on the spanning opportunities.

In this study, using the overlapping generation (OLG (model and the Stochastic Dynamic General Equilibrium (DSGE) approach, the optimal form of labor income tax rate and capital income tax functions is extracted for the economy of Iran using annual time series data during 1357 to 1397. The results of comparing the calibration and simulation of the designed model show that the optimal functions ...
متن کاملLifetime consumption and investment: Retirement and constrained borrowing
Retirement flexibility and inability to borrow against future labor income can significantly affect optimal consumption and investment. With voluntary retirement, there exists an optimal wealth-to-wage ratio threshold for retirement and human capital correlates negatively with the stock market even when wages have zero or slightly positive market risk exposure. Consequently, investors optimally...
متن کاملVeri cation Theorems for Models of Optimal Consumption and Investment with Retirement and Constrained Borrowing∗
We examine the impact of retirement exibility and the constraint against borrowing from future labor income on optimal consumption, optimal investment, and optimal retirement policy. We solve three alternative models almost explicitly in parametric forms (up to at most a constant) and provide veri cation theorems for the claimed solutions. In addition, we also obtain analytical comparative stat...
متن کاملInvestment , Income , and Incompleteness
The utility-maximizing consumption and investment strategy of an individual investor receiving an unspanned labor income stream seems impossible to find in closed form and very difficult to find using numerical solution techniques. We suggest an easy procedure for finding a specific, simple, and admissible consumption and investment strategy, which is near-optimal in the sense that the wealtheq...
متن کاملThe Impact of Dc Pension Systems on Population Dynamics
This study investigates the risk inherent in defined contribution (DC) pension plans on an individual and aggregate basis, based on U.S. data. Our aim is to gain insight into the consequences of a DC pension scheme becoming the predominant pillar of retirement income for an entire society. Using the stochastic simulated output of a DC flexible age-of-retirement model, we first determine the opt...
