DESCRIPTION:The timing of transfers is critical to their value for recipie
 nts. Thus\, although the bulk of family transfers occurs in the form of in
 heritances\, inter-vivos trans- fers may be far more valuable than their s
 ize suggests. To uncover the economic importance of inter-vivos transfers 
 to recipients\, we propose a tractable lifecy- cle model of the family cap
 able of reproducing salient features of the data. We then use the model to
  address the consumption insurance puzzle based on Blun- dell et al. (2008
 ). The model has the potential to narrow the gap between actual consumptio
 n insurance in the data and that predicted by standard incomplete- markets
  models. The model may also provide a novel rationale for the preferen- ti
 al tax treatment of inter-vivos transfers relative to bequests.
