Existence and uniqueness of recursive utilities without boundedness
This paper derives primitive, easily verifiable sufficient conditions for existence and uniqueness of (stochastic) recursive utilities for several important classes of preferences. In order to accommodate models commonly used in practice, we allow both the state-space and per-period utilities to be unbounded. For many of the models we study, existence and uniqueness is established under a single, primitive "thin tail" condition on the distribution of growth in per-period utilities. We present several applications to robust preferences, models of ambiguity aversion and learning about hidden states, and Epstein-Zin preferences.

Necessary and Sufficient Conditions for Existence and Uniqueness of Recursive Utilities
We study existence, uniqueness and computability of solutions for a class of discrete time recursive utilities models. By combining two streams of the recent literature on recursive preferences---one that analyzes princi…
Existence and Uniqueness of Recursive Utility Models in $L_p$
Recursive preferences, of the sort developed by Epstein and Zin (1989), play an integral role in modern macroeconomics and asset pricing theory. Unfortunately, it is non-trivial to establish the unique existence of a sol…
Existence of an equilibrium with limited stock market participation and power utilities
For constants $\gamma \in (0,1)$ and $A\in (1,\infty)$, we prove existence and uniqueness of a solution to the singular and path-dependent Riccati-type ODE \begin{align*} \begin{cases} h'(y) = \frac{1+\gamma}{y}\big( \ga…
Energy-Efficient Resource Allocation for 5G Cognitive Radio NOMA Using Game Theory
Cognitive radio non-orthogonal multiple access (CR-NOMA) networks promise improved spectrum utilization and capacity in 5G networks. In this work, we aim to investigate efficient power allocation for the secondary users …
Analysis of the Risk-Sharing Principal-Agent problem through the Reverse-H{ö}lder inequality
In this paper we provide an alternative framework to tackle the first-best Principal-Agent problem under CARA utilities. This framework leads to both a proof of existence and uniqueness of the solution to the Risk-Sharin…
