Has Consumption Inequality Mirrored Income Inequality (2015, background): “…starting with Deaton and Paxson (1994).3 These papers often use the CE for consumption data, and are therefore subject to the measurement error problems addressed 3See also, Storesletten et al. (2004), Heathcote et al. (2005), Guvenen (2007), Huggett et al. (2009), and Aguiar and Hurst (2009).”
Demographic Change, Human Capital and Welfare (2012, background): “Data for age specific productivity are taken from Huggett et al. (2007)14.”
Equality of Opportunity: Theory and Measurement (2016, result): “These figures are close to those put forward by Huggett, Ventura, and Yaron (2011) who calibrate an intertemporal model of human capital accumulation.”
Inferring Labor Income Risk and Partial Insurance from Economic Choices (2014, methodology): “For more recent examples of such a human capital model, see Guvenen and Kuruscu (2010) and Huggett, Ventura, and Yaron (2011).”
Life Cycle Wage Growth across Countries (2017, background): “For human capital models, the key determinant of the shape of variance profiles is the correlation between learning ability and initial human capital (Huggett et al. 2011). Intuitively, individuals with higher learning ability endogenously choose to invest more at the beginning of the life cycle. Th”
Wealth Distribution and Social Mobility in the US: A Quantitative Approach (2015, methodology): “The agent’s maximization problem, written recursively, then is Vt(at) = max ct,at+1 u(ct) + βVt+1(at+1) s.t. at+1 = (1 + r)(at − ct) + wt, 0 ≤ ct ≤ at, for t ∈ [0, T ] VT+1(aT+1) = 1 β e(aT+1) The agent faces no uncertainty within his life span, hence no expectation is taken in the 6Assuming determi”
Female Labour Supply, Human Capital and Welfare Reform (2013, unknown): “…but we estimate the probabilities of marriage, separation and childbirth to reproduce the dynamics of family formation observed in the 8See also Huggett et al. (2011), who consider heterogeneity in wage profiles, and Adda et al. (2011), who allow for a flexible specification of human capital…”
Aging and pension reform: extending the retirement age and human capital formation* (2015, unknown): “Further, Heckman et al. (1998), Guvenen and Kuruscu (2009) and Huggett et al. (2012).”
Estimation of a Roy/Search/Compensating Differential Model of the Labor Market (2020, unknown): “In the vast literature on human capital models, the work by Huggett, Ventura, and Yaron (2011) is most directly related to ours.”
How Well Does the U.S. Social Insurance System Provide Social Insurance? (2010, background): “We expect that human capital models (e.g., Huggett, Ventura, and Yaron 2007) will be central both as positive models of inequality and as models for the analysis of social insurance issues.”
