The Intertemporal Elasticity of Substitution in Consumption in the United States and the United Kingdom
扩展了Hall的方法，直接估计时间加总可能引起的随机扰动移动平均过程，并考虑不遵循生命周期持久收入模型的消费者，比较了美国和英国的跨期替代弹性。
As Robert E. Hall (1988) notes, the magnitude of the intertemporal elasticity of substitution in consumption is one of the central questions of macroeconomics. Do higher expected real interest rates lead to deferred consumption? The authors extend Hall's methodology and model, and compare results for the United Sta tes and the United Kingdom. In both cases, they directly estimate the mo ving average process that temporal aggregation might induce in the random disturbances and take account of consumers who do not follow the lif e cycle-permanent income model of consumption.
