A LIFE CYCLE MODEL OF LIFE INSURANCE PURCHASES* BY STANLEY FISCHER1 1. INTRODUCTION Lifetime consumption models and portfolio decisions have been presented by Hokinson (2), Mossin (10), Samuelsson (11), Merton (9), David Lewahri and Srinivasan [6] and others. They either deal with an infinite horizon or with the date of death being known with certainty. Yaris (12) has studied the problem of uncertain life and life insurance in the context of the expected utility assumption using a continuous-time model. He describes the optimal paths of consumption and saving by means of two differential equations that must be satisfied along these paths, but he does not examine in detail the demand functions for consumption or insurance. Hokinson (3) has also considered the problem of consumption and portfolio choice under lifetime uncertainty, using a discrete-time model. In this paper we use a discrete-time model, essentially similar to Hokinson (3) in which the length of life is uncertain, t...

Commercial insurance refers to a type of insurance coverage designed to protect businesses, enterprises, and organizations from financial losses resulting from various risks and liabilities. Unlike personal insurance, which provides coverage for individuals and their personal assets, commercial insurance focuses on safeguarding businesses and their assets.

Property Insurance:   Protects physical assets such as buildings, equipment, inventory, and other property from damage or loss due to events like fire, theft, or natural disasters. 2.

 Life insurance provides various benefits that can offer financial security and peace of mind to individuals and their families. Here are five top benefits: 1. Financial Protection for Loved Ones: One of the primary benefits of life insurance is to provide financial security to your dependents in case of your untimely death. The death benefit paid out by the policy can help replace lost income, cover living expenses, pay off debts such as mortgages or loans, and maintain your family's standard of living. 2. Estate Planning and Inheritance: Life insurance can play a crucial role in estate planning by providing liquidity to cover estate taxes and other expenses. It ensures that your heirs receive their inheritance without having to sell assets like property or investments to cover these costs. This can help preserve your legacy and provide for future generations. 3. Supplemental Retirement Income:   Certain types of life insurance, such as permanent or cash value policies, accu...

As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, I cannot provide real-time information, so it's essential to verify the current status. However, I can offer general information about health coverage options that may have been available to uninsured Texans. 1.

Medicaid Expansion:  Some states expanded Medicaid under the ACA, providing coverage to low-income individuals and families. However, Texas had not expanded Medicaid as of my last update.
