Abstract
Efficient allocation of a stochastic stream of financial income is characterized by an explicit stochastic differential equation for the case that each agent has stationary preferences and the probability law of the stochastic process is known. The initial condition is affected by which efficient allocation is chosen, but subsequent evolution is determined solely by agents' impatience and risk aversion.
