Smoothness of the Value Function for Optimal Consumption Model with Consumption-Wealth Utility and Borrowing Constraint
This paper studies an optimal consumption-investment problem for an investor whose instantaneous utility depends on both consumption and wealth, and the investor faces a general borrowing constraint that the investment amount in the risky asset does not exceed an exogenous function of the wealth. We show that the value function is second-order smooth and present the optimal consumption-investment policy in a feedback form. Moreover, when the risky investment amount is bounded above by a fixed constant, we show that under certain conditions, the constraint is binding if and only if an endogenous threshold bounds the portfolio wealth, and we determine the endogenous wealth threshold with the smooth fit condition. Our results encompass several well-developed portfolio choice models and imply new applications.

Robust optimal investment and consumption strategies with portfolio constraints and stochastic environment
We investigate a continuous-time investment-consumption problem with model uncertainty in a general diffusion-based market with random model coefficients. We assume that a power utility investor is ambiguity-averse, with…
Optimal consumption under loss-averse multiplicative habit-formation preferences
This paper studies a loss-averse version of the multiplicative habit formation preference and the corresponding optimal investment and consumption strategies over an infinite horizon. The agent's consumption preference i…
Consumption-investment decisions with endogenous reference point and drawdown constraint
We propose a consumption-investment decision model where past consumption peak $h$ plays a crucial role. There are two important consumption levels: the lowest constrained level and a reference level, at which the risk a…
Optimal Consumption with Reference to Past Spending Maximum
This paper studies the infinite-horizon optimal consumption with a path-dependent reference under exponential utility. The performance is measured by the difference between the nonnegative consumption rate and a fraction…
A consumption-investment model with state-dependent lower bound constraint on consumption
This paper studies a life-time consumption-investment problem under the Black-Scholes framework, where the consumption rate is subject to a lower bound constraint that linearly depends on her wealth. It is a stochastic c…
