dc.description.abstractInstitutions meant to reallocate risks that cannot be fully diversified on financial markets, such as labour income fluctuations, may also affect the response of aggregate consumption to country-specific income shocks. This paper empirically assesses this possibility by extending a standard cross-country consumption insurance test to account for the interaction between macroeconomic shocks and labour and credit market institutions. In a panel of 15 OECD countries observed over the 1971-2003 period, institutional heterogeneity is a significant determinant of cross-country differences in consumption responsiveness to income changes. The estimates are remarkably robust to the inclusion of unobservable country-level heterogeneity and time-varying institutional indicators.en
