Kocourek, Pavel; Steiner, Jakub; Stewart, Colin - 2024

Evidence suggests that consumers do not perfectly optimize, contrary to a critical assumption of classical consumer theory. We propose a model in which consumer types can vary in both their preferences and their choice behavior. Given data on demand and the distribution of prices, we identify...

Optimal consumption and portfolio choice with no-borrowing constraint in the Kim-Omberg model

Ferrari, Giorgio; Schütz, Tim Niclas - 2026

In this paper, we study an intertemporal utility maximization problem in which an investor chooses consumption and portfolio strategies in the presence of a stochastic factor and a no-borrowing constraint. In the spirit of the Kim-Omberg model, the stochastic factor represents the excess return...

Optimal consumption and investment choice with bounded memory and recursive preferences in a multi-asset setting

Kuissi-Kamdem, Wilfried; Ndengo, Marcel - 2026

This paper studies an optimal consumption-investment problem in a multi-asset financial market where risky assets returns incorporate returns history. Preferences are modelled using Epstein-Zin recursive utility, allowing a separation between risk aversion and intertemporal substitution. Using...
