Does the selfish life-cycle model apply in the case of Japan?

Horioka, Charles - 2020

In this paper, we first provide a brief exposition of the simplest version of the selfish life cycle model or hypothesis, which is undoubtedly the most widely used theoretical model of household behavior in economics, and then survey the literature on household saving behavior in Japan (with...

Fixed amount saving and the permanent income hypothesis

Vosen, Simeon - 2012

According to the German SAVE survey, more than 40 percent of households regularly save fixed amounts rather than flexibly adjusting savings to income variations as assumed by the Permanent Income Hypothesis (PIH). Fixed amount saving behaviour could thus imply a challenge to PIH-based standard...

Horioka, Charles - 2020

The selfish life-cycle model or hypothesis is, together with the dynasty or altruism model, the most widely used theoretical model of household behavior in economics, but does this model apply in the case of a country like Japan, which is said to have closer family ties than other countries? In...

Saving after retirement and preferences for residual wealth

Fella, Giulio; Holm, Martin Blomhoff; Pugh, Thomas - 2024

We use administrative data for Norway to estimate an incomplete-market life-cycle model of retired singles and couples with a bequest motive, health-dependent utility, and uncertain longevity and health. We allow the parameters of the bequest utility to differ between households with and without...

Aggregation under structural stability : the change in consumption of a heterogeneous population

Hildenbrand, Werner; Kneip, Alois - 2002

It is shown how one can effectively use cross-section data in modelling the change over time in aggregate consumption expenditure of a heterogeneous population. The starting point of our aggregation analysis is a dynamic behavioral relation on the household level. Based on certain hypotheses on...

Do demographics prevent consumer aggregates from reflecting micro-level preferences?

Koulovatianos, Christos; Schröder, Carsten; Schmidt, Ulrich - 2014

Most simulated micro-founded macro models use solely consumer-demand aggregates in order to estimate deep economy-wide preference parameters, which are useful for policy evaluation. The underlying demand-aggregation properties that this approach requires, should be easy to empirically disprove:...

Confronting the representative consumer with household-size heterogeneity

Koulovatianos, Christos; Schröder, Carsten; Schmidt, Ulrich - 2010

Much analysis in macroeconomics empirically addresses economy-wide incentives behind consumer/investment choices by using insights from the way a single representative household would behave. Heterogeneity at the micro level can jeopardize attempts to back up the representative consumer...
