Consumption, investment and unemployment: SVAR tests of the effects of changes in the consumption-saving pattern

In this paper, we provide evidence supporting the hypothesis that permanent shifts in the consumption-saving pattern will have permanent effects on investment, with subsequent consequences for the unemployment rate, by estimating a structural vector autoregression model for the Spanish economy. Our...
