Hölder bound for discounted CRRA consumption

ID: holder-bound-for-discounted-crra-consumption

For , nonnegative consumption with state-price budget satisfies this bound under CRRA utility. Apply Holder inequality on probability-times-time measure to and , with conjugate exponents and . If the price integral is finite, equality forces full budget use and . Financing this process is a separate feasibility issue, so the equality pattern alone does not assert attainability in an incomplete market.
