Three types of heterogeneity are highlighted: heterogeneity in individual tastes, heterogeneity … in income and wealth risks, and heterogeneity in market participation. Work in each area is illustrated using results …

Policy analysis frequently requires estimates of aggregate (or mean) consumer elasticities. However, estimates are often made incorrectly, based on elasticity calculations at mean income. We provide in this paper an overall integrated analytical framework that encompasses these biases and...

Reducing meat consumption has become a global policy target due to rising environmental, health, and animal welfare concerns. We provide novel evidence on how price change in real life affects grocery shopping behavior in the Netherlands. We focus on price-induced behavioral response among major...

In this paper, we develop a local housing stock heterogeneity measure. This measure may be used to monitor housing … stock heterogeneity over time and in combination with other measures of policy interest. We illustrate the latter by looking … at local housing stock heterogeneity, house price variation (measured by local Gini coefficients), and affordability …

We introduce a new two-dimensional measure for the heterogeneity of performance within groups of economic units. This … the new measure leads to a much more differentiated description of heterogeneity than alternative measures, for example …, the mean or range. In particular, we provide an example to demonstrate that the proposed measure of heterogeneity is …

This paper develops a framework that allows us to combine the tools provided by structural models for economic interpretation and policy analysis with those of reduced-form models designed for nowcasting. We show how to map a quarterly dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) model into a...
