国际经济学workshop：The Micro Anatomy of Macro Consumption Adjustments

主讲人：Pablo Ottonello (Univeristy of Michigan and NBER)
主持人：余淼杰、余昌华（北京大学国家发展研究院）

We study crises characterized by large adjustments of aggregate consumption through their microlevel patterns. We document the cross-sectional patterns of consumption adjustment across the income distribution and find large adjustments for top-income households, who exhibit consumption-income elasticities similar to or larger than the average. We construct a heterogeneous-agent open economy model of consumption under income fluctuations and show that the data patterns are largely consistent with theories that attribute the dynamics of aggregate consumption to changes in aggregate permanent income. We also discuss our findings’ implications for theories based on the tightening of households’ borrowing constraints and analyze policy implications.
Pablo Ottonello is an Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan, Department of Economics. He is also a faculty research fellow at NBER. Pablo Ottonello’s main fields of expertise are macroeconomics, financial economics, and international finance. His work has focused on studying capital markets and investment dynamics, the role of financial frictions in the transmission of macroeconomic policies, sovereign debt markets, and financial crises. He received a Ph.D. from Columbia University in 2015, and a B.A. from Universidad de la Republica (Montevideo, Uruguay).
