Journal ArticleDOI
On the Relationships between Real Consumption, Income, and Wealth
TL;DR: The authors developed an alternative approach that exploits the fact that the ratio of these series has historically been stable in nominal terms, and demonstrate that the choice of deflation methodology has important implications for wealth effect estimation and tests of the permanent income hypothesis.
Book ChapterDOI
Simulation of multinomial probit probabilities and imputation of missing data
TL;DR: The proposed procedure provides better parameter estimates in simple models than present popular methods and is applied to two data sets from Jamaica with significant missing data problems.

On the relationships between real consumption, income, and wealth
TL;DR: In this paper, the Permanent Income Hypothesis is examined under the assumption that real consumption of nondurable goods and services is a constant multiple of aggregate real consumption outlays, an assumption that represents a very poor description of U.S. data.

Simulation of Multinomial Probit Probabilities and Imputation of Missing Data
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use simulation methods to impute missing data by iteratively estimating a large number of parameters associated with a joint normal distribution function fof latent variable associated with the data and then using draws from the estimated distribution efficiently in a method of simulated moments or simulated maximum likelihood procedure.
