Abstract

This paper proposes a mixed model to study a consumer's optimal saving in the presence of two types of risk: income risk and background risk. In this model the income risk is represented by a fuzzy number and the background risk by a random variable. Three notions of precautionary saving are defined as indicators of the extra saving induced by the income and the background risk on the consumer's optimal choice.
