## Abstract We consider a financial market consisting of a risky asset and a riskless one, with a constant or random investment horizon. The interest rate from the riskless asset is constant, but the relative return rate from the risky asset is stochastic with an unknown parameter in its distributi

Abstract
We use the statistical model of bandit processes to formulate and solve two kinds of optimal investment and consumption problems. The payoffs from the investment are dividend payments with fixed return rates, but the payment frequency is stochastic following a Poisson distribution. The financial market consists of assets which follow Poisson distributions with known or unknown intensity rates. Two kinds of consumption patterns are defined and the optimality of the myopic strategy, the Gittins index strategy, and the playโtheโwinner strategy are discussed.

## Abstract In this paper, we assume that an investor can invest his/her wealth in a bond and a stock. In our wealth model, the stochastic interest rate is described by a CoxโIngersollโRoss (CIR) model, and the volatility of the stock is proportional to another CIR process. We obtain a closedโform
This research solves the intertemporal portfolio choice problems with and without interim consumption under stochastic inflation. We assume a oneโfactor nominal interest rate and a oneโfactor expected inflation rate, implying a twoโfactor real interest rate in the economy. In contrast to other relat
