Incomplete Risk Sharing with Complete Markets
March 14, 2017DECRG Kuala Lumpur Seminar Series

We explore ways to introduce incomplete risk sharing in complete markets. A key assumption is that, because of financial frictions, it is costly to transfer funds in and out of households; the main implication is a formulation in between perfect risk sharing and balanced trade. We compare this specification with existing alternatives and derive implications, especially for international business cycle models and for empirical work on cross country risk sharing.
