We study how estimators that are used to impute consumption in survey data are inconsistent due to measurement error in consumption. Previous research suggests instrumenting consumption to overcome this problem. We show that, if additional regressors are present, then instrumenting consumption...

In this paper we analyze the convergence properties of some standard approaches to initialize the Parameterized Expectations Algorithm. We carry out a Monte Carlo experiment to compare their performance in computational terms. We do so within the framework of the standard neoclassical growth...
