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 ... -

A two sample size estimator for large data sets
(Discussion paper;1/23, Working paper, 2023-02-17)In GMM estimators moment conditions with additive error terms involve an observed component and a predicted component. If the predicted component is computationally costly to evaluate, it may not be feasible to estimate ... -
