on 387 calorie-income elasticities collected from 90 primary studies, our results identify that the threshold income for …

This paper presents a meta-analysis of variations in price and income elasticities of residential water demand … synthesize research results on price and income elasticities of residentialwater demand report in the literature. These … empirical estimates of the price and income elasticity ofresidential water demand vary to such considerable extents. The set of …

This paper proposes a simple non-parametric framework to calculate income elasticities from a data set of observed …). The framework is used to calculate income elasticities for food and non-alcoholic drinks from a rich panel of household …

We propose a novel approach to estimate household income uncertainty at various future horizons, and characterize how … the estimated uncertainty evolves over the life cycle. We measure income uncertainty as the variance of linear forecast … errors conditional on information available to households prior to observing the realized income. This is a semiparametric …

from similar positions in the consumption distribution Blacks end up in lower percentiles than Whites. Education, income …

This paper empirically investigates the effects of changes in the interest rate as well as transitory income … significant effects of precautionary savings on the consumption-savings decision. As a result of a doubling of transitory income …

We study whether households can distinguish persistent from transitory income shocks, and the implications for … of its income process from actual income realizations together with an additional noisy private signal. We first show … persistent and transitory income shocks. A large transitory transmission parameter can e.g. be estimated despite of a low …

In the context of income dynamics, we investigate whether aspects of agents' superior information relative to the … econometrician cannot observe idiosyncratic shocks to both permanent and transitory components of income. In this case perceptions of … households. We find evidence of superior information consistent with standard income modelling. -- subjective expectation reports …

We provide a critique of the methods that have been used to derive measures of income risk and draw attention to the … importance of demographic factors as a source of income risk. We also propose new measures of the contribution to total income …
