Stochastic Optimal Growth Model with Risk Sensitive Preferences
This paper studies a one-sector optimal growth model with i.i.d. productivity shocks that are allowed to be unbounded. The utility function is assumed to be non-negative and unbounded from above. The novel feature in our framework is that the agent has risk sensitive preferences in the sense of Hansen and Sargent (1995). Under mild assumptions imposed on the productivity and utility functions we prove that the maximal discounted non-expected utility in the infinite time horizon satisfies the optimality equation and the agent possesses a stationary optimal policy. A new point used in our analysis is an inequality for the so-called associated random variables. We also establish the Euler equation that incorporates the solution to the optimality equation.

Risk Preferences in Time Lotteries
An important but understudied question in economics is how people choose when facing uncertainty in the timing of events. Here we study preferences over time lotteries, in which the payment amount is certain but the paym…
Robust Stochastic Shortest-Path Planning via Risk-Sensitive Incremental Sampling
With the pervasiveness of Stochastic Shortest-Path (SSP) problems in high-risk industries, such as last-mile autonomous delivery and supply chain management, robust planning algorithms are crucial for ensuring successful…
Relative growth rate optimization under behavioral criterion
This paper studies a continuous-time optimal portfolio selection problem in the complete market for a behavioral investor whose preference is of the prospect type with probability distortion. The investor concerns about …
Risk-Aware Preference Learning for Stochastic Outcomes
Learning reward functions from human preferences is a widely used approach for aligning robot behavior with user expectations in human-robot interaction. Most existing approaches assume that humans evaluate uncertain out…
Robot NavigationMortality and Healthcare: a Stochastic Control Analysis under Epstein-Zin Preferences
This paper studies optimal consumption, investment, and healthcare spending under Epstein-Zin preferences. Given consumption and healthcare spending plans, Epstein-Zin utilities are defined over an agent's random lifetim…
