The role of confidence indices in explaining consumption growth in Sweden during the period 1975-94 is analyzed in this … paper. We first analyzed which variables influence the levels of the confidence indices. Two important such factors are … models that are considered, an Euler equation and a solved-out consumption model. In the latter model, the confidence index …
