We develop a new approach to the decomposition of income risk within a nonstationary model of intertemporal choice. The … approach allows for changes in income risk over the life-cycle and with the business cycle. It requires only repeated cross … decomposing income risk. The approach is used to investigate the changes in income risk in Britain across the inequality growth …
