Im Euroraum und insbesondere in Deutschland hat sich die Konjunktur lange Zeit nur schwach entwickelt. Ein wesentlicher Grund dafür war nur eine verhaltene Dynamik der Binnennachfrage und insbesondere des Konsums. Im Durchschnitt unterschiedlicher Länder ist ein deutlicher Einfluss der...

This paper investigates the wealth effect for 16 industrial countries using the recently proposed technique that exploits the sluggishness of consumption growth. I estimate that the longrun marginal propensity to consume from wealth varies from less than 0.5 cents in France to 4.5 cents in the...

I construct a new dataset with financial and housing wealth in 16 countries and investigate the effect of wealth on consumption. The baseline estimation method based on the sluggishness of consumption growth implies that the long-run marginal propensity to consume out of total wealth averaged...

This paper presents a simple new method for estimating the size of ‘wealth effects?on aggregate consumption. The method exploits the well-documented sluggishness of consumption growth (often interpreted as ‘habits?in the asset pricing literature) to distinguish between short-run and long-run...

This paper presents a simple new method for estimating the size of 'wealth effects' on aggregate consumption. The method exploits the well-documented sluggishness of consumption growth (often interpreted as 'habits' in the asset pricing literature) to distinguish between short-run and long-run...

This paper presents a detailed investigation of the wealth effect for 16 industrial countries using the recently proposed technique that exploits the sluggishness of consumption growth. I argue that, compared to the widespread cointegration-based methodology, the approach I apply has better...

The theory of intertemporal consumption choice makes sharp predictions about the evolution of the entire distribution of household consumption, not just about its conditional mean. In the paper, we study the empirical transition matrix of consumption using a panel drawn from the Bank of Italy...
