We study a continuous-time model of consumption and portfolio selection with limited commitment in a stochastic environment. The credit constraints of a household are determined endogenously in the credit market where creditors know that the household is not committed to payment of debt. By...

We study determinants of households' unsecured credit limits using the Survey of Consumer Finances between 2001 and 2016. We estimate the marginal effects of demographic characteristics and financial health conditions in a two stage least squares model, resolving the endogeneity from the...

We study asset pricing with consumption frictions. Frictions in consumption include adjustment costs which prevent a consumer from adjusting consumption freely, due to transaction costs, commitments, search and learning costs, and psychological costs. The stochastic discount factor is determined...

We study an optimal consumption-portfolio selection problem in which an economic agent is able to choose a discretionary stopping time in a continuous-time framework. We focus on studying the problem for the case where the agent’s preference changes around the stopping time. We obtain the...

We study an optimal consumption-portfolio selection problem in which an economic agent is able to choose a discretionary stopping time in a continuous-time framework. We focus on studying the problem for the case where the agent’s preference changes around the stopping time. We obtain the...

We study a continuous-time model of consumption and portfolio selection with the stochastic investment opportunity and the credit constraints endogenously determined in the business cycle modeled by the regime switch. By using the martingale approach and transformation into optimal stopping...

We study the consumption and portfolio selection problem of an agent who faces consumption irreversibility: there is disutility from changing consumption levels. The derived preference exhibits intertemporal loss aversion toward consumption changes with the previous consumption level being the...

We investigate the dynamic consumption and portfolio selection problem of an agent who has an intertemporal preference with loss and risk aversion, as proposed by Choi et al. (2019a). We disentangle the effects of loss aversion from those of risk aversion on risk taking. We show by simulation...
