We investigate pairwise stochastic comparisons of stationary solutions to the linear recurrence 𝑋𝑡+1=𝐴𝑡𝑋𝑡+𝐵𝑡 , where 𝐴𝑡 and 𝐵𝑡 are non-negative random variables. We establish novel order-preserving properties, which enable us to obtain comparison theorems...

The Household Finance and Consumption Survey (HFCS) provides valuable information for the monetary policy and financial stability purposes. The dataset shows, however, inconsistencies with National Account (NtlA) statistics, as the aggregated HFCS micro data do usually not match the...
