We study the role of household saving behaviour, of individual motives for saving and that of perceived liquidity constraints in 15 Euro Area countries. The empirical analysis is based on the Household Finance and Consumption Survey, a new harmonized data set collecting detailed information on...

Precautionary savings and wealth accumulation with parameter uncertainty and learning
Sampson, Michael J. - 1994
This paper considers the intertemporal consumption/savings decision when income follows a random walk with drift and the drift coefficient is unknown. Instead agents are Bayesian learners, combining prior and sample information to form a posterior for the drift coefficient and future income....

We revisit the alleged retirement consumption puzzle. According to the life-cycle theory, foreseeable income reductions … endowments after retirement, the theory does predict a fall of total market consumption expenditures.

UK consumers' habits
Banerjee, Ryan; Batini, Nicoletta - 2003
We follow Fuhrer (2000) in estimating via Maximum Likelihood a log-linear consumption function on UK data. In doing so we consider various habit formation assumptions. We show that a model of purely external habits as in Fuhrer (2000) fits the UK data remarkably well, and possibly in a superior...
