The ratio of consumption to total household wealth (i.e., tangible assets plus unobserved human wealth) is commonly … component in the consumption equation. The consumption-to-wealth ratio calculated from this model is much less persistent than …

We examine a trivariate time series model that is subject to a regime switch, where the shifts are governed by an unobserved, two-state variable that follows a Markov process. The analysis is performed in a Bayesian framework developed by Albert and Chib (1993), where the unobserved states are...

In a recent paper (quot;A Primer on the Economics and Time Series Econometrics of Wealth Effects,quot; 2001), Davis and … Palumbo investigate the empirical relation between three cointegrated variables: aggregate consumption, asset wealth, and … changes in income and wealth? Is the adjustment rapid, occurring within a quarter, or more sluggish, taking place over many …

We investigate the importance of aggregate and consumer-specific or idiosyncratic labour income risk for aggregate consumption changes in the US over the period 1952-2001. Theoretically, the effect of labour income risk on consumption changes is decomposed into an aggregate and into an...

We propose a methodology based on multiresolution analysis to decompose a time series in components classifi ed by their level of persistence. Using this decomposition to detect the layers with diff erent degrees of persistence in consumption growth, we provide empirical evidence that some of...
