Changing patterns of risk-sharing channels in the United States and the euro area
Cimadomo, Jacopo; Giuliodori, Massimo; Lengyel, Andras; … - 2023
In this paper, we assess how risk-sharing channels have evolved over time in the United States and the Euro Area, and whether they have operated as "complements" or "substitutes". In particular, we focus on the capital channel (income from cross-border ownership of productive assets), the credit...

Consumer savings behaviour at low and negative interest rates
Felici, Marco; Kenny, Geoff; Friz, Roberta - 2022
We study interest rates transmission to savings at low and negative rates. Exploiting cohorts of consumers from a data …-rich multi-country survey, we show how the strength of interest rate transmission to savings varies with the level of nominal … levels, there is evidence that the savings response may even reverse sign. Such a "savings' reversal" is consistent with the …

Dissecting Saving Dynamics : Measuring Wealth, Precautionary and Credit Effects
Carroll, Chris - 2019
We argue that the U.S. personal saving rate's long stability (from the 1960s through the early 1980s), subsequent steady decline (1980s-2007), and recent substantial increase (2008-2011) can all be interpreted using a parsimonious 'buffer stock' model of optimal consumption in the presence of...

Inequality and Relative Saving Rates at the Top
Lieberknecht, Philipp; Vermeulen, Philip - 2021
We estimate the long- and short-run relationship between top income and wealth shares for France and the US since 1913. We find strong evidence for a long-run cointegration relationship governed by relative saving rates at the top. For both countries, we estimate a decline in the relative saving...

Sequential Optimization, Front-Loaded Information, and U.S. Consumption
Willman, Alpo - 2021
In an overlapping generations maximization framework with consumers, whose information on uncertain future income realizations is front-loaded, a closed form aggregate consumption function with CRRA preferences is derived. To have a closed form solution we assume that consumers solve their...

The predictive power of equilibrium exchange rate models
Ca' Zorzi, Michele; Cap, Adam; Mijakovic, Andrej; … - 2020
In this paper we evaluate the predictive power of the three most popular equilibrium exchange rate concepts: Purchasing Power Parity (PPP), Behavioral Equilibrium Exchange Rate (BEER) and the Macroeconomic Balance (MB) approach. We show that there is a clear trade-off between storytelling and...

Dynamic clustering of multivariate panel data
João, Igor Custodio; Lucas, André; Schaumburg, Julia; … - 2021
We propose a dynamic clustering model for uncovering latent time-varying group structures in multivariate panel data. The model is dynamic in three ways. First, the cluster location and scale matrices are time-varying to track gradual changes in cluster characteristics over time. Second, all...
