We study optimal savings in continuous time with exogenous transitions between employment and unemployment as the only source of uncertainty in a small open economy. We prove the existence of an optimal consumption path. We exploit that the dynamics of consumption and wealth between jumps can be...

We study a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model in continuous time. Related work has proven that optimal consumption in this model is a smooth function of state variables. This allows us to describe the evolution of optimal state variables (wealth and labour market status) by stochastic...
