stochastic mortality risk driven by jumps, unspanned labor income as well as short-sale and liquidity constraints and a simple … insurance. I compare models with deterministic and stochastic hazard rate of death to a model without mortality risk. Mortality … risk has only minor effects on the optimal controls early in the life cycle but it becomes crucial in later years. A …

This paper analyzes how the combination of borrowing constraints and idiosyncratic risk affects the equity premium in … idiosyncratic risk increases the equity premium by 70 percent, which means that the mechanism described in Constantinides, Donaldson … the zero-borrowing constraint is a lot weaker. More surprisingly, when I introduce idiosyncratic labor income risk in an …

This paper studies a household's optimal demand for a reverse mortgage. These contracts allow homeowners to tap their home equity to finance consumption needs. In stylized frameworks, we show that the decision to enter a reverse mortgage is mainly driven by the dierential between the aggregate...

In this paper we analyze an economy with two heterogeneous investors who both exhibit misspecified filtering models for the unobservable expected growth rate of the aggregated dividend. A key result of our analysis with respect to long-run investor survival is that there are degrees of model...

This paper compares two classes of models that allow for additional channels of correlation between asset returns: regime switching models with jumps and models with contagious jumps. Both classes of models involve a hidden Markov chain that captures good and bad economic states. The distinctive...
