There is mounting evidence that individual expectations on subsequent realizations of idiosyncratic risk carry significant predictive power even when other information available to an econometrician is taken into account. This suggest that individuals possess advance information on future realizations of their individual risks such as future job losses, earnings, and mortality. In my recent research, I'm working on integrating the empirical findings in quantitative-theoretical macro models to understand whether individual expectations matter, for example, for household consumption-saving decisions or for the existence of a private unemployment insurance market. If you want to know about my work in this area, you can check out my personal webpage or the following links to three recent papers
Existence of Private Unemployment Insurance with Advance Information (2021), with Piotr Denderski,
Consumption Insurance with Advance Information (2020), with Swapnil Singh, Quantitative Economics
Risk Sharing with Private and Public Information (2020), with Piotr Denderski, Journal of Economic Theory
I'm organizing the Tinbergen Macro Seminar Series.
