How Does Future Income Affect Current Consumption?*
This paper tests a straightforward implication of the basic Life Cycle model of consumption: that current consumption depends on expected lifetime income. The paper projects future income for a panel of households and finds that consumption is closely related to current income, but unrelated to predictable changes in income. However, future income uncertainty has an important effect: consumers ...
متن کاملHow Does Monetary Policy Affect Household Income Distribution?
Over the last decades the research on monetary policy has largely concentrated on the impact of monetary authorities’ decisions on inflation and the fine-tuning of the macroeconomic, so that distributional effects of monetary policy which are non-trivial has been ignored. A view that has become increasingly popular since the financial crisis 2008 is that expansionary monetary policy can exacerb...
متن کاملHow does Docker affect energy consumption? Evaluating workloads in and out of Docker containers
Context: Virtual machines provide isolation of services at the cost of hypervisors and more resource usage. This spurred the growth of systems like Docker that enable single hosts to isolate several applications, similar to VMs, within a low-overhead abstraction called containers. Motivation: Although containers tout low overhead performance, do they still have low energy consumption? Methodolo...
متن کاملHabits, Sentiment and Predictable Income in the Dynamics of Aggregate Consumption
This paper explores whether habit formation in the representative agent’s preferences can explain two failures of the standard permanent income model with intertemporally separable utility: the sensitivity of consumption to lagged consumer sentiment, and to predictable changes in current income. I show that in a habit formation model, the sensitivity of consumption growth to predicted income ca...
متن کاملThe Consumption Response to Predictable Changes in Discretionary Income: Evidence from the Repayment of Vehicle Loans
Although the Life-Cycle/Permanent Income Hypothesis is the primary framework for understanding household consumption and savings decisions, only a few studies have used clearly identifiable income changes to test the basic predictions of the model. The estimates produced using this empirical strategy have yet to lead to a consensus of beliefs since the results have both favored and rejected the...
