Abstract
We document differences in the degree of partial insurance of consumption vs permanent income shocks between Caucasians, Latinos and Asians in the US. Caucasian and Asian individuals share a rather high degree of partial insurance, Asians being slightly more insured than the Caucasians. On the other hand, Latinos are the less insured group, with around 80% of a permanent income shock reverberating into their consumption.
