課程概述 |
This course provides an overview of the research on saving and consumption. Students will be familiar with consumption-saving decisions in a stochastic environment. Since the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) matters for the propagation of macro shocks and the effects of fiscal and monetary policies, we focus on the determinants of MPC --- out of anticipated income change, and unexpected transitory or permanent income change. Another focus is on the link between models and data. Students will learn how to derive testable implications of different consumption models and evaluate models with empirical findings.
