BIS: MPC Heterogeneity And The Dynamic Response Of Consumption To Monetary Policy

Date 30/05/2023

Summary

Focus

We study how household financial choices affect the impact of monetary policy on consumption. We use household-level survey data from Germany, France, Italy and Spain to estimate a model of how households allocate their income between savings (in risky and risk-free assets) and consumption. From our model, we derive marginal propensities to consume (MPCs), ie how much a household consumes out of an extra euro received. We use these MPCs to quantify the effect of a change in interest rates on consumption for each household.
