Persistence in Consumption Across Europe : Evidence Using Fractional Integration

This paper employs fractional integration methods to investigate the degree of persistence in consumption in a group of 33 European countries using data on annual final consumption expenditure of households and non-profit institutions serving households for the period 1960-2021. The results show no...
