United States: Counterfactual Analysis 330 3 $aAn increasing body of evidence suggests that the behavior of the economy has changed in many fundamental ways over the last decades. In particular, greater financial deregulation, larger wealth accumulation, and better policies might have helped lower uncertainty about future income and lengthen private sectors' planning horizon. In an overlapping-generations model, in which individuals discount the future more rapidly than implied by the market rate of interest, we find indeed evidence of a falling degree of impatience, providing empirical support for this hypothesis. The degree of persistence of "windfall" shocks to disposable income also appears to have varied over time. Shifts of this kind are shown to have a key impact on the average marginal propensity to consume and on the size of policy multipliers. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2009/018 606 $aFiscal policy 606 $aEconomic policy 606 $aAggregate Factor Income Distribution$2imf 606 $aBanks and Banking$2imf 606 $aComparative or Joint Analysis of Fiscal and Monetary Policy$2imf 606 $aConsumption$2imf 606 $aEconomics$2imf 606 $aExpenditure$2imf 606 $aExpenditures, Public$2imf 606 $aFinance$2imf 606 $aFinancial services$2imf 606 $aIncome$2imf 606 $aInterest rates$2imf 606 $aInterest Rates: Determination, Term Structure, and Effects$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics: Consumption$2imf 606 $aNational accounts$2imf 606 $aNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: General$2imf 606 $aPersonal income$2imf 606 $aPersonal Income, Wealth, and Their Distributions$2imf 606 $aPublic finance & taxation$2imf 606 $aPublic Finance$2imf 606 $aReal interest rates$2imf 606 $aSaving$2imf 606 $aStabilization$2imf 606 $aTreasury Policy$2imf 606 $aWealth$2imf 607 $aUnited States$2imf 615 0$aFiscal policy. 615 0$aEconomic policy. 615 7$aAggregate Factor Income Distribution 615 7$aBanks and Banking 615 7$aComparative or Joint Analysis of Fiscal and Monetary Policy 615 7$aConsumption 615 7$aEconomics 615 7$aExpenditure 615 7$aExpenditures, Public 615 7$aFinance 615 7$aFinancial services 615 7$aIncome 615 7$aInterest rates 615 7$aInterest Rates: Determination, Term Structure, and Effects 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aMacroeconomics: Consumption 615 7$aNational accounts 615 7$aNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: General 615 7$aPersonal income 615 7$aPersonal Income, Wealth, and Their Distributions 615 7$aPublic finance & taxation 615 7$aPublic Finance 615 7$aReal interest rates 615 7$aSaving 615 7$aStabilization 615 7$aTreasury Policy 615 7$aWealth 676 $a339.5;339.52 700 $aSgherri$b Silvia$01815869 701 $aBayoumi$b Tamim$0122763 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910965824103321 996 $aOn Impatience and Policy Effectiveness$94372454 997 $aUNINA
