This paper investigates the degree of risk sharing across households in China with heterogeneous risk and time preferences from the late 1990s to early 2010s. Standard tests assume homogeneous preferences across households, which may bias the true risk sharing degree if, in reality, preferences...

This paper proposes a pure-exchange economy with three key ingredients: habit formation, stochastic moments of aggregate consumption, and a small degree of heterogeneity in risk aversion consistent with empirical data. We obtain closed formulas for many equilibrium quantities, including the...

We study whether households can distinguish persistent from transitory income shocks, and the implications for consumption-saving behavior. We construct a novel consumption-saving model where the household must infer the persistent component of its income process from actual income realizations...
