Insurance Daily News

2020 AUG 27 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Insurance Daily News -- Investigators discuss new findings in Mathematics - Industrial Mathematics. According to news reporting out of Seoul, South Korea, by NewsRx editors, research stated, “We investigate the optimal consumption, portfolio, and life insurance decisions problem of a liquidity constrained household whose preference is given by the CES (constant elasticity of substitution) utility function.”

Funders for this research include National Research Foundation of Korea Grant - Korean Government, National Research Foundation of Korea - Korean Government, Research Grant of Kwangwoon University in 2020.

Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Kwangwoon University, “By applying the martingale and duality method, we obtain the closed-form solution for the household’s value function and optimal strategies. We provide a rigorous proof for the optimality of the strategies.”

According to the news editors, the research concluded: “We exhibit comparative static results of the optimal decisions with respect to the elasticity of substitution between consumption and leisure.”
