Optimal spending of a wealth fund in the discrete time life cycle model
(Discussion paper;7/23, Working paper, 2023-06-09)The paper analyses optimal spending of an endowment fund. We use the life cycle model for both expected utility and recursive utility in discrete time. First we find the optimal consumption and investment policies for both ... -
The optimal spending rate versus the expected real return of a sovereign wealth fund
(Discussion paper;1/21, Working paper, 2021-02-04)We consider a sovereign wealth fund that invests broadly in the international financial markets. The influx to the fund has stopped. We adopt the life cycle model and demonstrate that the optimal spending rate from the ... -
Optimal tariff and ownership structure for a natural gas transportation network
(Working paper, Working paper, 2007-11)This paper discusses how the government can set transportation tariffs to induce socially optimal transportation of natural gas in a network owned by a syndicate of gas producers. In a setting where the gas is exported to ... -
Optimal Taxation with Multiple Incomes and Types
(Discussion paper;3/22, Working paper, 2022-01-24)We analyze the optimal nonlinear income tax schedule when taxpayers earn multiple in comes and differ along many unobserved dimensions. We derive the necessary conditions for the government’s optimum using both a tax ... -
