"Disentangling Overlapping Shocks in Portfolio Choices" abstract In a market where price shocks result from the sum of several mean-reverting shocks, this paper finds the optimal trading policies and their welfare for informed investors, who observe all individual shocks, and uninformed investors, who estimate them from the aggregate shock alone.

"Healthcare and Consumption with Aging" Abstract Health-care benefits individuals by slowing the natural growth of mortality, indirectly increasing utility through consumption over a longer lifetime.

The…
