Optimal Consumption in a Stochastic Ramsey Model with Cobb-Douglas Production Function [PDF]
International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 2013 A stochastic Ramsey model is studied with the Cobb-Douglas production function maximizing the expected discounted utility of consumption. We transformed the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation associated with the stochastic Ramsey model so as to ...
