The Reservation Wage under CARA and Limited Borrowing

Christian Bauer ()

Discussion Papers in Economics from University of Munich, Department of Economics

Abstract: A continuous-time sequential job search model with savings and CARA preferences is solved analytically without resorting to unlimited borrowing and real-valued consumption. I isolate the effects of limited borrowing and nonnegative consumption as well as risk-aversion on the reservation wage by using a system of ordinary differential equations.
