There is mounting evidence that individual expectations are predictive of subsequent realizations of idiosyncratic risk even when other information available to an econometrician is taken into account. This suggests that individuals possess advance information on 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, I refer you to my personal webpage.
