Mehr zum Buch

The analysis focuses on the predictive abilities of individual survey participants regarding macroeconomic expectations, building on Crump's 2015 research. It estimates the elasticity of intertemporal substitution (EIS) using their model, yielding a coefficient of 0.839, which slightly surpasses earlier findings in the literature. This study contributes to empirical monetary economics by providing insights into how individual expectations can influence broader economic indicators.
