Introduction
![Page 4: The Demand Side: Consumption & Saving](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56813dd9550346895da7a35b/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Why “Consumption” is important?
• It is the largest category of spending.
• Its marginal propensity to consume is one of the determinant of the multiplier.
• It is more stable than “The Saving Ratio”.
![Page 5: The Demand Side: Consumption & Saving](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56813dd9550346895da7a35b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The “Keynesian” Consumption Function
![Page 6: The Demand Side: Consumption & Saving](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56813dd9550346895da7a35b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
A simple “Keynesian” Consumption Function:
C = A + β*Y
C : The actual consumption.
A : The autonomous consumption.
Β : The marginal propensity to consume.
Y : The current level of income NOT the disposable income.
![Page 7: The Demand Side: Consumption & Saving](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56813dd9550346895da7a35b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Does this type of equation is acceptable for consumption

Using statistical tests
How well does the equation in predicting
consumption

Why should we consider another model?
1. This model did fit the data set as shown in (fig.2.4) but it did fail to explain the fluctuations in that period.
2. This model assuming that any change in consumption or in saving ratio is explain by changes in income ONLY.
3. So, to explain the behavior of saving ratio we need to consider other factors.

Adjusting The “Keynesian” Consumption Function
![Page 10: The Demand Side: Consumption & Saving](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56813dd9550346895da7a35b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
How to adjust the simple “Keynesian” consumption function?
c = α + β*y
c : Log Actual Consumption.α : Log Autonomous Consumption.β : Log Marginal Propensity to Consume and
here it reflects the elasticity of C to Y.y : Log Actual Income.

Permanent Income / Life Cycle Theory
![Page 12: The Demand Side: Consumption & Saving](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56813dd9550346895da7a35b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What is the life cycle theory?
Consumers base their consumption on the expected lifetime income, saving and dis-saving so as to smooth out short-term fluctuation in income.
![Page 13: The Demand Side: Consumption & Saving](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56813dd9550346895da7a35b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What is permanent income?
Permanent income is the constant income stream which has the same present value as an individual’s expect lifetime income.
![Page 14: The Demand Side: Consumption & Saving](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56813dd9550346895da7a35b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

How to measure permanent income?
1. Permanent Income as Lagged Income:• Taking weighted average of past incomes.• Temporary fluctuations in income will be random
and they will cancel each other over periods.

• If assuming that permanent income is the weighted average of all past incomes:
• Where 0<λ<1.• k(1- λ) is the elasticity of consumption to income.• Then modeling a consumption function with lagged
income could include lagged consumption also.• Note that both equations give different short and long
run consumption function.

2. Permanent Income as determined by Rational Expectation:
• Consumers predict income as accurately as possible given the information available.
• Information could be divided into 2 parts:1. Information that already known at time (t-1).2. New information that has become available since
time (t-1).
• Where is “white noise” : random variable with zero mean and uncorrelated info. With time t-1.

• There is no constant term.• If β = 1 then the probability of consumption to rise or fall
is equal.• In reality, β>1 because that the probability of
consumption is being undertaken not by a constant population but by a population which income per capita is rising over time.
• Note that the importance of interpreting the error term is that if it happened to have a correlation with previous information (C, Y, or itself at time t-1) this theory cannot be correct.
• Since , then the test is not correct.ttt 1

Modifications to The Life Cycle Theory
![Page 20: The Demand Side: Consumption & Saving](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56813dd9550346895da7a35b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
What are the modifications to the Life Cycle Theory?
• Inflation:– It affects both C and S.– It reduces the real value of any debts denominated in
money.– As debt value decreases, debtors (government and
corporate sector) gain and creditors (personal sector) lose.
– The reduction in real income is referred to as inflation tax (a tax on holding money).
– inflation should be taken into account in calculating consumption function since it is not calculated in the calculation of personal disposable income.
![Page 21: The Demand Side: Consumption & Saving](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56813dd9550346895da7a35b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Where is the elasticity of consumption to inflation .

• Error Correction Mechanism:– The standard consumer theory suggest that
in the long run permanent income is proportional to actual income and hence consumption should be proportional to income.
– In the short run, consumption is not proportional to income strictly.
– Error correction Mechanism is built from:• In the long run, there is a target consumption
level that is proportional to income.• In the short run, consumption will not equal the
desired proportional of income (mistakes and shocks always take place).

• House Prices and Uncertainty:– Credit liberalization made it easier for consumers to
borrow money.– Savings increase as uncertainty increases.– Including income, saving ratio, inflation, real house
prices, and uncertainty will give us the following consumption function that fits most the changes in consumption:

Explaining The Saving Ratio
![Page 26: The Demand Side: Consumption & Saving](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56813dd9550346895da7a35b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
How to calculate the “Saving Ratio”?
• Using the last form of the consumption function, we end up with that:– The contribution of inflation to consumption in any one
year is defined as ( ), where is the mean value of inflation.
– Subtracting it from c we get what is the consumption when inflation if equal to its mean and then we can calculate what is the saving ratio when inflation is at its mean.
– Similarly we can obtain the saving ratio following the same procedure with all other factors (real house pricing and uncertainty).
– Note that our consumption function is unlikely to provide a complete account of factors that affect both consumption and saving ratio.

• Although the results showed some consumption functions that were used in serious applied macroeconomics, it remains oversimplified in a number of respects:
The lag structure still relatively simple. The equation were stated for total consumption
while separated equations are normally be estimated for durable and non-durable consumption.
There are more factors that should be included (e.g. demographic changes and income distribution changes).
