In this paper, we present data on recent trends in private consumption and in possible determinants of private consumption (such as GDP, household incomes, household saving rates, household wealth, and employment conditions) in the Group of Seven (G7) countries and find that there has been...

We exploit a quasi-experiment to provide new evidence on the magnitude of the housing wealth effect. We estimate an immediate shock of approximately -15% to house prices close to one of Stockholm's airports after its operations were unexpectedly continued as a result of political bargaining....

We exploit a quasi-experiment that occurred in Stockholm in 2007 to provide new evidence on the magnitude of the housing wealth e.ect. Stockholm's smaller city airport was expected to close in 2011 but its operating contract was unexpectedly renewed after political negotiation behind closed...
