متن کاملPrecautionary Saving and Ambiguity
This paper considers a two period consumption-saving model in which future income is uncertain. If the future income is also ambiguous, in the sense of having multiple priors, then ambiguity attitudes also a¤ect the saving decision. Unlike one-period decision problems, ambiguity attitude does more than just distort the probabilities of the various priors. It also distorts the relative importanc...
متن کاملPrecautionary Saving and Consumption Fluctuations∗
This paper uses the consumption Euler equation to derive a decomposition of consumption growth into four sources. These are new information and three sources of predictable consumption growth: intertemporal substitution, changes in the preferences for consumption, and incomplete markets for consumption insurance. Using data on the expenditures of households, we implement the decomposition for t...
متن کاملPrecautionary Saving and Consumption Smoothing
This paper examines how aversion to risk and aversion to intertemporal substitution determine the strength of the precautionary saving motive in a two-period model with Selden/Kreps-Porteus preferences. For small risks, we derive a measure of the strength of the precautionary saving motive which generalizes the concept of “prudence” introduced by Kimball [12]. For large risks, we show that decr...

One of the surprises that came with the development and applications of expected utility theory to economics was the realization that risk aversion alone does not give rise to precautionary saving. As modeled by Leland (1968), precautionary saving was interpreted as an increase in saving in the current period if future income has the same mean but becomes less certain. Leland found that existen...
