Consider an individual facing the prospect of having high income, YH > 0, with probability 7 and low income, YL, with probability 1 – T, YH > YL. Prior to learning whether realized income is high or low, the individual is able to go into the market and purchase (or sell) two types of assets. Let the Asset 1 have a return structure such that it pays R1.H units of goods if y = YH and pays R1,L units of goods if y = YL. Similarly, let Asset 2 have a return structure such that it pays R2.H units of goods if y = YH and pays R2,L units of goods if y to spend in the asset market but this wealth is not storable and hence cannot be save to purchase consumption goods. Denote by a1 the amount of Asset 1 purchased by the individual and az the amount of Asset 2 purchased by the individual. The individual's problem is to maximize the expected utility from consumption sub- ject to the constraints that consumption must be financed out of income and the realized return from the asset portfolio as well…
