Abstract
⺠Two structural models of US consumption, labor income and wealth are specified. ⺠Both are estimated using the method of Pagan and Pesaran (2008). ⺠One model is equivalent to the model of Lettau and Ludvigson (2011). ⺠In the alternative model, the reallocation shock has a pronounced effect on consumption. ⺠This finding is consistent with a sizable proportion of liquidity constrained consumers.
