Abstract:
We study an optimal consumption of necessity and luxury, investment, and voluntary retirement choice model. The utility function in the objective function is given by the weighted sum of a quadratic utility function and a HARA utility function. We use the martingale method to derive a closed-form solution for optimal consumption of necessity and luxury, and investment. We also give some numerical implications.
