Introduction
Background of the Study According to the simple Keynesian consumption function, consumption depends solely on disposable income in the current period. However, it does not consider individuals’ expected income or and time preference for consumption.

Introduction
Therefore, there are contradictions between the simple Keynesian consumption function and empirical evidence. Friedman’s permanent income hypothesis (PIH) takes into account lifetime income and is more general and better than the Keynesian absolute income hypothesis (AIH). Many economists treat PIH and Life Cycle Hypothesis (LCH) equal.

Statement of the Problem Absolute Income Hypothesis Relative Income Hypothesis Permanent Income Hypothesis Life Cycle Income Hypothesis
So, it is important for policy makers that what type of hypothesis is consistent with Pakistan

Introduction
Significances of the Study Consumption expenditure accounts
for approximately sixty percent of GDP in Pakistan.
Critical determinant of aggregate demand.
Consumption is less volatile than investment.

Literature Review
The psychological law of consumption generally known as absolute income hypothesis (AIH) introduced by Keynes (1936)
Kuznets (1946) empirical puzzle. Duesenberry (1948) relative income
hypothesis (RIH). Friedman (1957) Permanent Income

Literature Review
Modigliani and Brumbergh (1954) Life Cycle Income Hypothesis.
Hall (1978) developed new approach to test consumption hypothesis, he took life cycle permanent income hypothesis and applied rational expectation and he conclude that current consumption is sufficient for estimation of future consumption.

Literature Review
Flavin (1981) tested the Hall REH by simple structural econometric model of consumption.
Campbell and Mankiw (1989) test the PIH they find that about fifty percent of individual’s consumption choices are based on the PIH while the remaining individual’s consumption choices are based on their current income.

Literature Review
Hsich et al. (1994) tested the PIH and AIH for four Asian countries (Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and India)
Shea (1995) tested the life cycle permanent income hypothesis for U.S economy
Drakos et al. (2002) investigated that the aggregate consumption in Greece used the aggregate data of consumption

Literature Review
Manitsaris (2006) using annual data of fifteen European Union countries and estimate consumption function under the PIH.
Dejuan et al. (2006) tested the PIH for 11 states of West German.
Liu et al. (2007) tested PIH with Hong Kong’s consumption data from 1984 to 2006

Methodology
There are several ways through which we estimate the consumption function. But the standard model is Euler equation approach. The pioneer of testing the PIH under the rational expectation with Euler equation was Hall (1978). Friedman (1947) estimated the permanent income by using the distributive lag of current income. Lucase (1976) postulates that the lags of current income did not explained the current consumption

Methodology
In the response to Lucase (1976) critique, Hall (1978) showed that with out current consumption other variable have no explanatory power to forecast future consumption
HALL’S RANDOM WALK MODEAccording to PIH, it is usually assumed that aggregate consumption represents the individual decision, so the representative individual maximizes

Methodology
Campbell and Mankiw (1990) Consumption ModelThis model assumes that the proportion of (1-k) individuals are forward looking and satisfy the PIH while a proportion of ( k) follow the “rule of thumb” and consume their current income.
