International risk-sharing has far-reaching implications both for economic policy and for basic research in economics. When countries do not share risk, individuals in those countries experience fluctuations in their consumption levels that are undesirable and possibly unnecessary.

This paper extends and refines the study of international risk. 'Consumption risk sharing' refers to the ability of agents to insure or protect their consumption against shocks to their income, for example, by borrowing and lending or holding claims on foreign equity.

So measuring the extent of risk sharing informs us about how consumption is likely to respond to country or region-specific shocks to income. This paper studies international risk sharing in Ireland focusing on the period.

To this end, we assess how consumption and national income have been affected by idiosyncratic output the5thsense.com: Yossi Yakhin. In this paper, we contribute to the international consumption risk sharing literature by accounting for the role of foreign equity portfolio composition in international consumption risk sharing.

First, we argue that it is not the size of foreign portfolio equity investment as a fraction of domestic equity wealth alone that provides risk the5thsense.com by: 6. But empirical studies indicate that consumption is much less correlated across countries than output.

In other words, there isn’t much international risk sharing in terms of consumption. Explanations of the consumption correlation puzzles emphasize a variety of market. This paper examines the extent of consumption risk sharing for a group of 50 high-income and developing countries.

The analysis is based on the empirical implementation of a model of partial consumption insurance whose parameters have the natural interpretation of coefficients of partial risk sharing even when the 0 hypothesis of perfect risk sharing is rejected.

They analyze two channels for consumption risk sharing among 10 East Asian countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, the. large, uninsurable effects on relative wealth. In other words, large swings in international prices magnify the consumption risk of fundamental supply shocks, generating large departures from efficient risk sharing.

As a result, the predicted correlation between the RER and relative con-sumption is negative. Downloadable. Recent empirical work has shown that ongoing international financial integration facilitates cross-country consumption risk-sharing. These studies typically find that countries with high equity home bias exhibit relatively low international consumption risk sharing.

We extend this line of research and demonstrate that it is not only a country’s equity home bias that. in regional and international risk sharing.

While bank lending and borrowing is important in regional risk sharing (see e.g. Hoffmann and Shcherbakova-Stewen,and the literature surveyed therein), the role of cross-border credit in general (Sørensen and Yosha, ) and bank loans for international risk sharing appears to be limited.

On the other hand, while we find no evidence that financial integration, as measured by cross-border capital flows in terms of the ratio of foreign assets to GDP, is helpful in consumption risk sharing in SSA, equity appears to hold the potential of precipitating a reduction in consumption risk while foreign direct investment (FDI) and debt are.

This paper examines the extent of risk sharing for a group of 50 industrial and developing countries.

In standard international business cycle models, e cient risk sharing requires that consumption should be higher in the country where it is cheaper to.

Section IV presents and discusses the empirical results of the study, contrasting the outcomes of a time series versus wavelet based analysis of consumption growth correlations and the implications of international.

Nov 27,  · International consumption risk sharing studies often generate counterfactual implications for asset return behavior with potentially misleading results. We address this contradiction using data moments of consumption and asset returns to fit a canonical international consumption risk sharing framework.

Introducing persistent consumption risk, we find that its correlation across countries is Cited by: 1 Introduction. Is consumption risk optimally hedged across countries.
