Reexamining loss aversion in aggregate consumption - Swedish and international evidence
Recent empirical and theoretical studies have suggested that consumption growth reacts asymmetrically to positive and negative expected income growth. In this paper we investigate if this behavior is robust to a) assumptions on how the households form their expectations of future earnings and b) sampling frequency. After investigating the case for Swedish consumption using survey data and a pan...
متن کاملTesting Stochastic Cycles in Macroeconomic Time Series
A particular version of the tests of Robinson (1994) for testing stochastic cycles in macroeconomic time series is proposed in this article. The tests have a standard limit distribution and are easy to implement in raw time series. A Monte Carlo experiment is conducted, studying the size and the power of the tests against different alternatives, and the results are compared with those based on ...
متن کاملLarge shocks in U.S. macroeconomic time series: 1860–1988
In this paper we examine the large shocks due to major economic or financial events that affected U.S. macroeconomic time series on the period 1860–1988, using outlier methodology. We show that these shocks can have temporary or permanent effects on the series and that most of them can be explained by the Great Depression, World War II and recessions as well as by monetary policy for the intere...
متن کاملTesting for Deterministic and Stochastic Cycles in Macroeconomic Time Series
In this paper we use a statistical procedure which is appropriate to test for deterministic and stochastic (stationary and nonstationary) cycles in macroeconomic time series. These tests have standard null and local limit distributions and are easy to apply to raw time series. Monte Carlo evidence shows that they perform relatively well in the case of functional misspecification in the cyclical...
متن کاملTrends and random walks in macroeconomic time series: A reappraisal
In this paper we re-analyze the nature of the trend (deterministic or stochastic) in the Nelson-Plosser macroeconomic data set from an alternative method relative to the previous studies. We underline the e ects of large, but infrequent shocks due to major economic or nancial events on U.S. macroeconomic time series, such as the Great Depression, World War II and recessions, using outlier metho...
