Optimal consumption and investment with Lévy processes

We study the intertemporal consumption and investment problem in a continuous time setting when the security prices follow a Geometric Lévy process. Using stochastic calculus for semimartingales we obtain conditions for the existence of optimal consumption policies. Also, we give a charaterization of the equivalent martingale measures.
