, consumption growth and wealth, and labor participation and wages. Each area involves treatment of heterogeneity and nonlinearity … at the individual level. 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...

This paper proposes mixed-frequency distributed-lag (MFDL) estimators of impulse response functions (IRFs) in a setup where (i) the shock of interest is observed, (ii) the impact variable of interest is observed at a lower frequency (as a temporally aggregated or sequentially sampled variable),...
