TY - JOUR TI - Financialisation and the Portuguese private consumption: two contradictory effects? T2 - Brazilian Journal of Political Economy VL - 41 IS - 1 AU - Gonçalves, A. AU - Barradas, R. PY - 2021 SP - 79-99 SN - 0101-3157 DO - 10.1590/0101-31572021-2993 UR - https://centrodeeconomiapolitica.org.br/rep/index.php/journal/article/view/2121 AB - This paper makes an empirical evaluation of the relationship between financialisation and the Portuguese private consumption by performing a time series econometric analysis from the first quarter of 1996 to the third quarter of 2019. Framed within the post-Keynesian literature, financialisation has two contradictory effects on private consumption. The first one corresponds to the fall in the households’ labour income, which favours a deceleration of private consumption. The second one corresponds to the increase of households’ debt and the increase of households’ financial and housing wealth, which favours an acceleration of private consumption. The global net effect of financialisation tends to be positive because the beneficial wealth effect suppresses the harmful income effect. We estimated a private consumption equation that includes four control variables (unemployment rate, inflation rate, short-term interest rate and long-term interest rate) and three variables linked to financialisation (labour income, net financial wealth and housing wealth). Our results confirm that labour income, net financial wealth and housing wealth are positive determinants of Portuguese private consumption. Our results also show that financialisation has represented an important driver of Portuguese private consumption, particularly due to the beneficial effects of net financial wealth. ER -
