Abstract

This paper verifies the uniqueness and existence for the value function of optimal consumption and investment problem with annuitization. The main results in this paper are closed form solutions with verification theorems. I combine the variational inequality approach of Bensoussan and Lions (1982) with an analysis of optimal stopping problem that I can solve in a closed form. Finally, I obtain analytical comparative statics for optimal consumption and risky investment policies.
