Asset pricing, habit memory, and the labor market

Author

Listed:
  • Jaccard, Ivan

Abstract

This article studies the asset pricing and the business cycle implications of habit formation in a production economy with capital adjustment costs and endogenous labour supply. A specification of internal habit in the mix of consumption and leisure which minimizes the wealth effect on labour supply is introduced into an otherwise standard real business cycle model. This mechanism enhances the model's ability to explain asset pricing puzzles. JEL Classification: G12, E32, J22
