Book Synopsis Portfolio Choice with Internal Habit Formation by : Francisco Gomes
Download or read book Portfolio Choice with Internal Habit Formation written by Francisco Gomes. This book was released on 2008. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Motivated by the success of internal habit formation preferences in explaining asset pricing puzzles, we introduce these preferences in a life-cycle model of consumption and portfolio choice with liquidity constraints, undiversifiable labor income risk and stock-market participation costs. In contrast to the initial motivation, we find that the model is not able to simultaneously match two very important stylized facts: A low stock market participation rate, and moderate equity holdings for those households that do invest in stocks. Habit formation increases wealth accumulation because the intertemporal consumption smoothing motive is stronger. As a result, households start participating in the stock market very early in life, and invest their portfolios almost fully in stocks. Therefore, we conclude that, with respect to its ability to match the empirical evidence on asset allocation behavior, the internal habit formation model is dominated by its time-separable utility counterpart.

Book Synopsis Life-cycle Effects of Internal Habit Formation on Portfolio Choice by : Tarun Gupta
Download or read book Life-cycle Effects of Internal Habit Formation on Portfolio Choice written by Tarun Gupta. This book was released on 2010. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The presence of an internal habit, interpreted as a minimum acceptable lifestyle, has important consequences for portfolio choice of agents. The risk aversion of agents varies endogenously through the life cycle depending on evolution of the agent's habit. For the case where total wealth is capitalized, I obtain analytical solutions for the value and policy functions in a continuous time finite horizon model. There is an interesting life cycle effect which I highlight. Younger agents need to sustain their habits for a longer horizon, thereby making them more risk averse and inducing them to optimally hold more conservative portfolios, as compared to older agents who have fewer outstanding periods, hence worry less about sustaining future habits and hold more aggressive portfolios. The model is applied to study portfolio decisions of retired households, in contrast to the standard model it is able to explain the data.

Book Synopsis Consumption and Portfolio Choice Under Internal Multiplicative Habit Formation by : Servaas van Bilsen
Download or read book Consumption and Portfolio Choice Under Internal Multiplicative Habit Formation written by Servaas van Bilsen. This book was released on 2018. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper explores the optimal consumption and investment behavior of an individual who derives utility from the ratio between his consumption and an endogenous habit. We obtain closed-form policies under general utility functionals and stochastic investment opportunities, by developing a non-trivial linearization to the budget constraint. This enables us to explicitly characterize how habit formation a ffects the marginal propensity to consume and optimal stock-bond investments. We also show that in a setting which combines habit formation with Epstein-Zin utility, consumption no longer grows at unrealistically high rates at high ages and investments in risky assets decrease.
