Consumption-savings decisions under upward looking comparisons : evidence from Germany, 2002 - 2011

Sequential optimization, front-loaded information, and U.S. consumption
Willman, Alpo - 2007
In an overlapping generations maximization framework with consumers, whose information on uncertain future income realizations is front loaded, a closed form aggregate consumption function with CRRA preferences is derived. To have a closed form solution we assume that consumers solve their...
