Description |
We model endogenous credit rationing and its effects on aggregate consumption behavior. We explain two important empirical paradoxes of the consumption literature. First, it is possible that some configurations of income/consumption streams be such that an outside observer could estimate a marginal propensity to consume greater than one. Second, if one tried to estimate an intertemporal substitution model disregarding credit constraints, it might result in a nonconcave utility function, even when consumers utility functions are concave.
