This paper provides a new framework for the derivation and estimation of consumption and equity premium functions. Applying duality in a dynamic context, we show that equity premium and consumption functions can be easily obtained from the indirect utility function. Our new framework, therefore,...

In this paper, we use duality properties to show that the saving function can be derived in a non-expected utility framework, even with fairly general preferences. We propose an econometric framework for estimation of the cross-country aggregate saving function, using a flexible functional form...
