Consumer Boycott, Household Heterogeneity and Child Labour [PDF]

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2015Using a dataset in which we observe the specific individuals in a household making choices, we study differences in purchase behaviors within and across households in five grocery categories. We develop a choice model that recovers utility parameters from individuals’ choices while allowing for the behavior of individuals from the same household to be ...

The Heterogeneous Effects of Household Debt Relief
SSRN Electronic JournalLarge-scale debt forbearance is a key policy tool during crises, yet targeting is challenging due to information asymmetries. Using transaction-level data from a Portuguese bank during COVID-19, we find that financially fragile households are more likely to enter forbearance, irrespective of income shocks.

Household Heterogeneity and the Performance of Monetary Policy Frameworks
2022Même si le ciblage de l’inflation a maintenu l’inflation à un niveau bas et stable au cours des dernières décennies, deux grandes tendances persistantes nous ont amenés à en comparer les résultats avec ceux d’autres cadres de politique monétaire. D’une part, les taux d’intérêt suivent une trajectoire à la baisse constante, ce qui pourrait accroître la ...

Growth with Heterogeneous Households
2006One dominant view on the interplay between growth and inequality holds that income inequality promotes saving and therefore promotes development. This opinion is closely related to the view that saving is the engine of growth. Lewis (1954: 156–57) expounds this view as follows: We are interested not in the people in general, but only say in the 10 ...

The Supply-Side Effects of Household Heterogeneity
Household heterogeneity has been shown to be an important driver of aggregate demand. In this research, we demonstrate that it also impacts the supply side. We build a model in which heterogeneous households vary in their extent to which they supply production factors (labor and capital).Schwanebeck, Benjamin, Thiel, Luzie
