Report SeriesDOI
Consumption inequality and partial insurance
TL;DR: The authors examined the link between income inequality and consumption inequality through the degree of insurance to income shocks and found that taxes and transfers as well as family labor supply play an important role in insuring permanent shocks.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Consumption Response to Income Changes
TL;DR: The authors reviewed different empirical approaches that have been taken to estimate how consumption responds to income changes, distinguishing between the traditional excess sensitivity tests, and the effect of predicted income increases and income declines.
Report SeriesDOI
Income Variance Dynamics and Heterogeneity
Costas Meghir,Luigi Pistaferri +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the conditional variance of the income shocks is modelled as a parsimonious ARCH process with both observable and unobserved heterogeneity, and the empirical analysis is conducted on data drawn from the 1967-1992 Panel Study of Income Dynamics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adjustment Costs, Firm Responses, and Micro vs. Macro Labor Supply Elasticities: Evidence from Danish Tax Records
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of taxes on labor supply are shaped by interactions between adjustment costs for workers and hours constraints set by firms, and they develop a model in which firms post job offers characterized by an hours requirement and workers pay search costs to find jobs.

Adjustment Costs, Firm Responses, and Micro vs. Macro Labor Supply Elasticities: Evidence from Danish Tax Records
TL;DR: A model in which firms post job offers characterized by an hours requirement and workers pay search costs to find jobs is developed, suggesting that macro elasticities may be substantially larger than the estimates obtained using standard microeconometric methods.
