This paper asks whether job seekers use short-term jobs to finance consumptoin while searching for other employment.

We derive distributional effects for a non-cooperative alternative to the unitary model of household behaviour.

We consider dynamic discrete choice models with heterogeneity in both the levels parameter and the state dependence parameter.

This paper uses revealed preference inequalities to provide tight nonparametric bounds on consumer responses to price changes.

This paper uses revealed preference inequalities to provide tight nonparametric bounds on consumer responses to price changes.

In this paper we develop a revealed preference-based nonparametric approach to characteristics models.

In many research areas it is desirable to have information on household total expenditure (‘consumption’).

This paper applies revealed preference theory to the nonparametric statistical analysis of consumer demand.

A central implication of life-cycle models is that agents smooth consumption. We review the empirical evidence on smoothing at frequencies from within the year up to across a lifetime.

This paper was prepared for inclusion in a symposium on saving and consumption in the Journal of Economic Perspectives.

This paper applies revealed preference theory to the nonparametric statistical analysis of consumer demand.

We assess the empirical validity of the life-cycle model using a time series of cross sections and a novel parametrization of preferences.
