Finite-horizon Optimal Consumption and Investment with Costly Income Adjustment

We study optimal consumption and investment for an investor who receives labor income until a fixed retirement date, can raise the income rate irreversibly at a constant price per unit of income flow, and cannot borrow against future income. A pathwise argument shows that no income is purchased duri

Consumption and Investment with Multiple Job-Switching Opportunities

We study finite-horizon optimal switching with affine rewards in a consumption-investment model with finitely many occupational regimes. Directed shortest-path costs yield the exact natural borrowing limit. A dual transformation reduces the control problem to a one-dimensional system of variational

Consumption adjustment with mean-reverting risk premia: A singular stochastic control approach

We study a two-sided singular stochastic control problem in which changes in consumption carry utility costs and the risk premium follows the mean-reverting Kim-Omberg model. Optimal consumption is reflected between two moving barriers given by thresholds that depend on the current risk premium. The
