ECIN Replication Package for "Idiosyncratic Asset Return and Wage Risk of US Households" (ICPSR 208346)
Released/updated on: 2024-11-26
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 1998-01-01--2018-12-31
This is the replication package for the article "Idiosyncratic Asset Return and Wage Risk of US Households" in Economic Inquiry. Abstract: This paper documents the degree of idiosyncratic asset return heterogeneity, serial correlation, and correlation with wage heterogeneity for US households. Novel panel-data measurements for returns on household assets are proposed. Sizeable transitory idiosyncratic return heterogeneity is documented to exist concurrently with permanent heterogeneity in household-specific returns. On average, idiosyncratic permanent risk to wages and transitory risk to total asset returns are correlated. This arises primarily from correlated wage and return risk to primary housing assets, and is dependent on age and wealth. The estimates inform the covariance structure of idiosyncratic asset return and wage heterogeneity.

Released/updated on: 2015-12-09
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 2008-09-01--2008-10-31
The Survey of Consumer Attitudes and Behavior series (also known as the Surveys of Consumers) was undertaken to measure changes in consumer attitudes and expectations, to understand why such changes occur, and to evaluate how they relate to consumer decisions to save, borrow, or make discretionary purchases. The data regularly include the Index of Consumer Sentiment, the Index of Current Economic Conditions, and the Index of Consumer Expectations. Since the 1940s, these surveys have been produced quarterly through 1977 and monthly thereafter. The surveys conducted in 2008 focused on topics such as evaluations and expectations about personal finances, employment, price changes, and the national business situation. Opinions were collected regarding respondents' appraisals of present market conditions for purchasing houses, automobiles, and other durables. Also explored in this survey were respondents' types of savings and financial investments, loan use, family income, retirement planning, general feelings and mental health, and political affiliation. Other topics in this series typically include ownership, lease, and use of automobiles, respondents' use of personal computers at home and in the office, and respondents' familiarity with and use of the Internet. Demographic information include ethnic origin, sex, age, marital status, and education.
