Incomplete asset markets and the cross-country consumption correlation puzzle
Article Abstract:
An International Real Business Cycle (IRBC) model in which asset markets are incomplete because only debt contracts can be traded in international financial markets, is found to produce cross-country consumption correlations which are significantly lower compared to extremely high correlations obtained when IRBC models assume complete international asset markets. This improvement is attained without substantially worsening forecasts for other key business cycle statistics.
