(通讯员:杨莹莹   审核人:齐航)近日,我院武瑶瑶博士以湖北经济学院为第一机构且通讯作者的论文《Consumption Dynamics with Law of Small Numbers》在行为经济学国际顶尖刊物《Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization》第224期正式发表。

       摘要:We propose an intertemporal consumption-saving model by exploring the implications of the Law of Small Numbers (LSN), a belief heuristic stating that any sample realization of a population should be representative of the population. First, the existence of the LSN reduces the precautionary savings demand. More importantly, we show that the LSN belief structure provides an alternative explanation for two fundamental anomalies in consumption theory: 1) excess sensitivity by showing that past changes in income predict future changes in consumption; and 2) excess smoothness by lowering consumption volatility and generating the empirical magnitude.
