Earnings and Consumption Dynamics: A Nonlinear Panel Data Framework
Open accessAbstract
We develop a new quantile-based panel data framework to study the nature of income persistence and the transmission of income shocks to consumption.Log-earnings are the sum of a general Markovian persistent component and a transitory innovation.The persistence of past shocks to earnings is allowed to vary according to the size and sign of the current shock.Consumption is modeled as an age-dependent nonlinear function of assets and the two earnings components.We establish the nonparametric identification of the nonlinear earnings process and the consumption policy rule.Exploiting the enhanced consumption and asset data in recent waves of the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, we find nonlinear persistence and conditional skewness to be key features of the earnings process.We show that the impact of earnings shocks varies substantially across earnings histories, and that this nonlinearity drives heterogeneous consumption responses.The transmission of shocks is found to vary systematically with assets.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
