Abstract

We study the problem faced by a wage earner with an uncertain lifetime who has access to a Black–Scholes-type financial market consisting of one risk-free security and one risky asset. His preferences relative to consumption, investment and life insurance purchase are described by a robust expected utility. We rewrite this problem in terms of a two-player zero-sum stochastic differential game and we derive the wage earner optimal strategies for a general class of utility functions, studying the case of discounted constant relative risk aversion utility functions with more detail.
