We investigate the importance of aggregate and consumer-specific or idiosyncratic labour income risk for aggregate … consumption changes in the US over the period 1952-2001. Theoretically, the effect of labour income risk on consumption changes is … decomposed into an aggregate and into an idiosyncratic part. Empirically, aggregate risk is modelled through a GARCH process on …
