Learning about consumer behaviour in face of a structural break: Argentina after 2002

This paper investigates how consumer behaviour is modified after a major structural break, taking into account two different kinds of models: one of them, an EquilibriumCorrection Model which includes the effects of "wealth perception” and the other one, focussed on deep parameters estimates fo...
