Credit constraints and durable consumption
Risto Herrala ()
Abstract: I find quantitative evidence of a significant effect for
credit constraints on durable consumption during a post-deregulation
consumer spending spree. The effect varied markedly across age and
educational groups. Young households with low levels of education displayed
high sensitivity to credit conditions. In contrast, older highly educated
households were relatively immune to credit market developments.
