In this paper, we analyze the optimal consumption and investment problem of an agent who has a quadratic-type utility function and faces a subsistence consumption constraint. We use the dynamic programming method to solve the optimization problem in continuous-time. We further provide the sufficient conditions for the optimization problem to be well-defined.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
