VaR-constrained S-shaped utility problem has a critical wealth threshold
What the study found The study finds a critical wealth level that determines whether the constrained optimization problem is feasible. Above that level, the problem admits a unique optimal solution and Lagrange multiplier; below it, the problem is infeasible. Why the authors say this matters The authors suggest this matters because it clarifies when an…
