We investigate partial insurance and group risk sharing in extended family networks. Our approach is based on … insurable within extended family networks. However, we find little evidence that the extended family provides insurance for such … decomposing income shocks into group aggregate and idiosyncratic components, allowing us to measure the extent to which each …

We measure the extent of consumption insurance to income shocks accounting for high-order moments of the income … distribution. We derive a nonlinear consumption function, in which the extent of insurance varies with the sign and magnitude of … income shocks. Using PSID data, we estimate an asymmetric pass-through of bad versus good permanent shocks – 17% of a 3σ …
