Wealth effects on consumption: evidence from the euro area
This paper estimates the wealth effects on consumption in the euro area as a whole. I show that: (i) financial wealth effects are relatively large and statistically significant; (ii) housing wealth effects are virtually nil and not significant; (iii) consumption growth exhibits strong persistence and responds sluggishly to shocks; and (iv) the immediate response of consumption to wealth is subs...
متن کاملEmpirical Proxies for the Consumption-Wealth Ratio
Campbell (1993) has employed a log-linearized approximation to an aggregate budget constraint to show how the ratio of consumption to total (human and non-human) wealth summarizes agents’ expectations concerning both future labor income and future asset returns. A problem with implementing this approach empirically is the unobservability of human wealth. Recently, Lettau and Ludvigson (2001a) h...
متن کاملWealth Effects and Consumption: A Multivariate Evaluation
Events of recent years have revived interest in whether wealth effects exist in consumption. Recent studies have obtained contrasting results on wealth effects. Findings and procedures across studies can be categorized as falling in to the "Endogenous Consumption" and "Endogenous Wealth" groups. This paper examines the long-run and short-run dynamic relationship between aggregate consumption, r...
متن کاملWealth distribution on complex networks.
We study the wealth distribution of the Bouchaud-Mézard model on complex networks. It is known from numerical simulations that this distribution depends on the topology of the network; however, no one has succeeded in explaining it. Using "adiabatic" and "independent" assumptions along with the central-limit theorem, we derive equations that determine the probability distribution function. The ...
متن کاملAsset Prices and Monetary Policy: Wealth Effects on Consumption
The aim of this paper is to test a model explaining private consumption as a function of income and wealth (financial assets plus real estate), with data from European Union (EU) countries. We know that income explains a large part of consumption as well as wealth, but concerning the effects of the latter, mainly those of changes on financial asset prices, few is known for Europe. In a general ...
