We consider the following maximization problem with log utility function
![]()
subject to ![]()
where
and
.
The Bellman equation with expectation is
![]()
We firstly set a feasible policy function as
for
.
Consequently, we have
![]()
as in what we set yesterday.
Then, we can have
![]()
We also have
![]()
due to the same kind of process mentioned before.
The Bellman equation between the first two period is
![]()
![]()
![]()
FOC w.r.t. Kf is
![]()
![]()
for some L.
Thus
![]()
On the other hand, FOC
w.r.t. L is
![]()
Substituting Kf into
this, we get
![]()
![]()
Thus
![]()
Thus
in terms
of
.
We also have
![]()
The detailed calculation of initial value function is as follows:
