Wealth Effects with Endogenous Retirement
Abstract: In this article, we study wealth effects, i.e., the response of consumption to exogenous changes in wealth. We use a consumption-saving model with endogenous retirement to show that the endogenous response of the value of a worker's human capital to changes in her wealth helps to account for the weak wealth effects observed in the data.
Keywords: consumption-saving; retirement; wealth effects;
