An aggregated consumption function based on the life cycle hypothesis using the error correction methodology is estimated for Sweden. Wealth in its dis-aggregated form is incorporated in the consumption function, along with basic standard explanatory variables including the unemployment variable. Applying Hendry's general to specific modelling strategy one final model is deduced. The tests of integration and co-integration indicate that the variables are both integrated and co-integrated. A spectrum of tests is applied to the final model. The final model captures the development of...

This book consists of two parts. In the first part we carry out a traditional growth accounting exercise for the private business sectors of the Swedish economy. We search for structural breaks during the sample period, using Chow tests, using a dynamic specification of Total Factor Productivity (TFP) growth rates. Granger- causality tests are carried out for the nine sub-sectors of the private business sectors of the Swedish economy. The second part of the paper I Hodrick-Prescott filter the data, and calculate cross correlation's of detrended output, hours, investment and TFP at different...

The study finds that each of the primary components of wealth has an equal role for consumer´s expenditure. In addition the study finds significant effects from employment and interest rates. The importance of the simulations and their usefulness to Swedish policy makers is discussed. Both ex-post and ex ante forecasts using the model gives reasonable results.In order to facilitate comparisons between Sweden and the UK we model both countries similarly using exogenous variables. The long run income elasticity for Sweden and the UK are both constrained to be equal to one. Tobins´s q Granger...
