Using detailed micro-data, this paper documents that households with lower income risk (and higher income levels …) exhibit a higher Marginal Propensity to Consume (MPC) in response to transitory income shocks, all else being equal. This … designed to account for the empirically observed negative correlation between income levels and income risk. This interaction …

This paper investigates inter-industry wage differentials in Belgium, taking advantage of access to a unique matched employer-employee data set covering all the years from 1999 to 2005. Findings show the existence of large wage differentials among workers with the same observed characteristics...

This paper provides evidence on whether the creation of the euro has changed the way global turbulences affect euro area and other economies. Specifically, it considers the impact of global shocks on the competitiveness of individual euro area countries and assesses whether their responses to...

Using microdata from the second wave of the Household Finance and Consumption Survey, we investigate the accuracy of property values estimated by homeowners - so called "self-assessed" house prices - and explore the drivers of possible deviations of these prices from official hedonic house price...

Net trading income is an important but volatile source of income for many euro area banks, highly sensitive to changes … income (normalized by total assets) conditional to changes in key macro-financial risk factors. To map the linkages of net … trading income with financial risk factors and capture nonlinear effects, we implement a dynamic fixed effects quantile model …

We estimate the long- and short-run relationship between top income and wealth shares for France and the US since 1913 … to a reduction of the long-run gap between wealth and income inequality compared to the period before. In the short …-run, income inequality drives wealth inequality, while the converse link is weaker and slower. Using counterfactual simulations …

Time-varying parameter (TVP) models have the potential to be over-parameterized, particularly when the number of variables in the model is large. Global-local priors are increasingly used to induce shrinkage in such models. But the estimates produced by these priors can still have appreciable...
