Subjective Intertemporal Substitution

Crump, Richard K. - 2020

We estimate the elasticity of intertemporal substitution (EIS)—the response of expected consumption growth to changes …). This unique data set allows us to estimate the consumption Euler equation with no auxiliary assumptions on the properties … with the results of much of the literature. In addition, planned consumption displays excess sensitivity to expected income …
