Abstract
We develop envelope theorems for optimization problems in which the value function takes values in a general Banach lattice. We consider both the special case of a
convex choice set and a concave objective function and the more general case case of an arbitrary choice set and a general objective function. We apply our results to discuss the
existence of a well-defined notion of marginal utility of wealth in optimal discrete-time, finite-horizon consumption-portfolio problems with an unrestricted information structure
and preferences allowed to display habit formation and state dependency.
