With medical expenditures constituting an increasingly large share of private spending, the continuing policy debate on health care reform in the United States is a potentially important source of households' financial uncertainty. To quantify the implications of this uncertainty for the real...

Households face earnings risk which is non-normal and varies by age and over the income distribution. We show that … assets. Because households are subject to more background risk than previously considered, the estimated model implies a … substantially lower coefficient of risk aversion. We also find renewed support for rule-of-thumb investment strategies under the …

We study continuous-time optimal consumption and investment with Epstein-Zin recursive preferences in incomplete markets. We develop a novel approach that rigorously constructs the solution of the associated Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation by a fixed point argument and makes it possible to...
