Precautionary Saving against Correlation under Risk and Ambiguitya

open access: yesJournal of Money, Credit and Banking, EarlyView.

Furthermore, state‐contingent deposit contracts do not expand the consumption possibility set to include the first best either. Central banks can improve welfare but only for savers and only with unconventional monetary policy. Finally,
