摘要：

In this paper, we analyse and construct a lifetime utility maximisation model with hyperbolic discounting. Within the model, a number of assumptions are made: complete markets, actuarially fair life insurance/annuity is available, and investors have time-dependent preferences. Time dependent preferences are in contrast to the usual case of constant preferences (exponential discounting). We find: (1) investors (realistically) demand more life insurance after retirement (in contrast to the standard model, which showed strong demand for life annuities), and annuities are rarely purchased; (2) optimal consumption paths exhibit a humped shape (which is usually only found in incomplete markets under the assumptions of the standard model).
