Optimal Consumption in a Stochastic Ramsey Model with Cobb-Douglas Production Function
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 ...

A Consistent Relaxation of the Consumption Invariant Rate in the Discounted-Utility Model
Theoretical Economics Letters, 2013 The main theoretical contribution of this paper is a mechanical result that relates growth rates across n commodities. We examplify through a 2-commodity economy of health and money where the results of current health economic theory are confirmed using this technology.

Psychological Assessment, 2016 Previous studies have demonstrated that working memory capacity plays a central role in delay discounting in people with externalizing psychopathology. These studies used a hyperbolic discounting model, and its single parameter-a measure of delay discounting-was estimated using the standard method of searching for indifference points between ...
