Optimal migration and consumption policies over an individual's Random lifetime
Willassen, Yngve - 2014 - This version: January, 8, 2014
The aim of this study is to determine optimal migration policies for an individual of known age-dependent mortality who accumulates capital by compound interest and also by skill-dependent income. By a continuing choice of several environments, which vary in intrinsic preference and in the rates...

Bellman filtering for state-space models
Lange, Rutger-Jan - 2021 - Revision: 8 January 2021
This article presents a new filter for state-space models based on Bellman's dynamic programming principle applied to the posterior mode. The proposed Bellman filter generalises the Kalman filter including its extended and iterated versions, while remaining equally inexpensive computationally....

How to solve dynamic stochastic models computing expectations just once
Judd, Kenneth L.; Maliar, Lilia; Maliar, Serguei; … - In: Quantitative economics : QE ; journal of the … 8 (2017) 3, pp. 851-893
We introduce a computational technique- precomputation of integrals - that makes it possible to construct conditional expectation functions in dynamic stochastic models in the initial stage of a solution procedure. This technique is very general: it works for a broad class of approximating...

The Italian pension gap : a stochastic optimal control approach
Milazzo, Alessandro; Vigna, Elena - In: Risks : open access journal 6 (2018) 2, pp. 1-20
We study the gap between the state pension provided by the Italian pension system pre-Dini reform and post-Dini reform. The goal is to fill the gap between the old and the new pension by joining a defined contribution pension scheme and adopting an optimal investment strategy that is...
