This paper presents a model for an explicitly-solved optimal consumption in which there is a lower marginal propensity to consume out of "human wealth" than out of financial wealth. I deliver this widely-noted consumption property (Friedman (1957) and Zeldes (1989)) by specifying that the...

Finally, our Method of Simulated Moments estimation is able to match well the life … the importance of temptation are robust to the different estimation strategies. …

This paper investigates the household consumption behavior in Russia. The model assumes that household consumption can be described by both the Euler equation and the rule-of-thumb. Using panel data on households (Russian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey – Higher School of Economics [RLMS-HSE])...

We estimate models of consumption growth that allow for long-run risks and disasters using data for a series of countries over a time span of 200 years. Our estimates indicate that a model with small and frequent disasters that arrive at a mean-reverting rate best fits international consumption...

We show how tax kinks can be used to estimate the marginal propensity to consume (MPC). Tax kinks create discrete changes in the relationship between taxable income and disposable income, which – under a set of testable assumptions – enables causal identification of the spending response to...

In this paper we use the covariate quantile autoregression approach to test whether consumption is a constant unit root process, as predicted by the permanent income hypothesis (PIH). We find evidence that at low quantiles of the conditional quantile function of consumption the persistence of...
