摘要：

Growth models under uncertainty and constant relative risk aversion (CRRA) utility are fragile in explaining consumers' choice, as equilibrium consumption is dependent on distributional assumptions. We show that, under semi-nonparametric distributions, general equilibrium models are stable, as the existence of expected utility is guaranteed. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
