Abstract

This paper defines the heterogeneous consumers according to the ratio between the high liquid assets and income, and uses the data from the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) of 2010, 2012, 2014 and 2016 to examine the response of heterogeneous consumers to the temporary income shocks and the wealth effects of the assets on the heterogeneous consumers. The study shows that consumers are more vulnerable to temporary income shocks when they have insufficient high liquid assets, and the wealth effect of the housing assets differ among the heterogeneous consumers.
