International Portfolio Diversification and Endogenous Labour Supply Choice

Abstract

This paper presents a multi-country general equilibrium model driven by productivity shocks, where labor supply and consumption are chosen endogenously. Weuse this framework to study the effect of labor supply for optimal international diversification. We find that the model's ability to help explain home-bias depends crucially on the level of substituability between consumption and non-working time.
