520 $a My dissertation focuses on measuring risk faced by households in the largest developing country---China.
520 $a First in Chapter 1 I develop a costly transfer model between distant households and use a dataset of rural Chinese households to test whether economic distance hinders the ability of rural households to share risks with each other. The question is whether economic distance can explain the partial risk sharing we observe. I find that economic distance does matter, and that economic distance and income shocks jointly determine the amount of risk sharing between households.
520 $a In Chapter 2 I develop a new measure of vulnerability, which tries to provide policy practitioners with a measurement-error robust and non-stationary estimator of vulnerability. Monte Carlo experiments show that it performs better than other estimators proposed in the literature.
520 $a Finally in Chapter 3 I apply this new estimator to Chinese urban households to evaluate the welfare consequences of consumption growth, unequal distribution and risks during the period of 2002--2004. I find that unequal distribution causes a large reduction in average household welfare; that aggregate consumption growth will compensate this loss after about 8.5 years, and that risks at different levels of aggregation, whether those common to all Chinese urban households, or those common to a specific province, or those idiosyncratic to the individual household, all have significantly reduced urban households' welfare, although the impact of risk on overall welfare is smaller than that of unequal distribution.
