Topic: Consumption function



  
 Intermediate Macroeconomics - Consumption
The change in consumption from one year to the next divided by the change in income is the marginal propensity to consume.
Consumption reported in the national GDP accounts and used in empirical studies does not correspond to the theoretical meaning of consumption.
Consumption each period will total $10 ($60 total lifetime income divided by 6 periods).

Consumption is geared to expectations of permanent income rather than to current levels of income.
While they are in medical school, students' consumption expenditures, in general, greatly exceed their actual income.
Now consider statement 2, which, in effect, says that people base their consumption on their permanent income and largely ignore deviations from that permanent income if they expect the deviations to be only temporary.

 Sticky Prices and Expenditure Plans
Consumption expenditure depends on disposable income, so the greater the increase in income taxes, the smaller is the increase in consumption expenditure, other things remaining the same.
Consumption expenditure in excess of this amount is called induced consumption, which is expenditure that is induced by an increase in disposable income.
The increase in consumption expenditure that results from this increase in income is $0.75 trillion and is the height of the triangle.

The consumption function tells you how a household plans to spend their income, and the savings function, correspondingly, tells you what is left over to put into a savings account.
The consumption function basically tells you that this person is planning to spend $250 when they have no income (DI=0), and then spend 75% of every dollar they earn (the MPC =.75).

 The Expenditure Model
And at the point where the consumption function crosses the 45° line, consumption equals income and savings is zero, we call the assumption that households can only consume or save their income.
The consumption function shows that an increase in income results in an increase in aggregate consumer spending.
The change in consumption divided by the change in income is known as the marginal propensity to consume.

To understand the effects of changes in income on consumption, we therefore need to know whether a change in income is temporary or permanent, since a $1,000 temporary increase in income leads to a small increase in consumption, whereas a $1,000 permanent increase in income leads to a large increase in consumption.
If individuals are basing their consumption decisions on expectations of future income, then that equivalently means that their consumption behavior can tell economists something about their predictions of future income.
Consumption is also the biggest component of aggregate demand, accounting for about two-thirds of GDP.

E, whether it is caused by a shift of the consumption schedule or by a change of investment spending, government purchases, or net export spending.
Keynes hypothesized that consumption spending is a fairly stable function of income and that it would not often shift or not by great magnitudes.
The AE schedule might diverge from the C function because a progressive income tax takes larger proportions of increasing incomes, because import spending tends to increase with income, or because private sector investment spending varies with the income level.

 Lecture 17. Oct. 30 - Ch. 11
In fact, the slope of the consumption function is the marginal propensity to consume (defined as the change in consumption associated with a change in disposable income, and approximately equal to 0.8 for the period from 1970-94).
Since we've already seen through the consumption function that consumption is linked to disposable income, and disposable income equals real GDP minus net taxes, it should be clear that consumption will be related to real GDP.
In addition, however, there are other influences on consumption expenditure and saving that cause shifts in the curves: falling real interest rates, and rising expected future income or increased purchasing power of net assets all tend to increase consumption and reduce saving.

 Introduction to Macroeconomics - Chapter 22
If we had considered income taxes, which are a function of income, then the model would become more complicated because changes in income tax rates would not only shift the aggregate expenditure curve up and down but also change the slope of the curve.
Lump sum taxes are independent of the level of income and this makes the analysis very similar to that for autonomous spending.

Given the level of permanent income, it implies that consumers want a constant level of consumption each period equal to C. Estimating/Measuring Permanent Income Permanent income is not easily observable nor measurable as it depends on consumers’ expectations of their future income stream.
By period 4 the increase in income is regarded as permanent and consumption rises another 6.4 to its new long-run level of 96.
Most importantly, the theory assumes that current (and future) consumption spending is determined by the individual’s permanent income.

A low value of consumption utility, say 0.15, indicates that a customer is not satisfied with the consumption of a certain commodity; while high value, say 0.96, indicates that the customer is very satisfied.
These Ai values are correct because people in general would always like to live in a better house (or to continue spending on home improvement), and do not spend extra money on energy, when their incomes permit (with unlimited income).
In forecasting, it is assumed that the annual spending rate increases by 8% and population increases by 0.9%.

 4.2 Consumption function, amended
Even though our new consumption function is written in terms of disposable income (YD), we can substitute the relevant fiscal policy variables into the relationship to come up with a consumption function that is a relationship between consumption expenditure and gross income (along with autonomous consumption (C*), transfers (TR*), and the marginal tax rate (t)).
It looks just like the consumption function of the previous lecture, with the important exception that changes in fiscal policy can now shift and/or rotate the relationship between consumption expenditure and gross income.
It is assumed here that the same consumption versus saving decision is made whether it is factor income or transfer income, i.e.

 Tutor2u - Keynesian Consumption Function
The consumption - income relationship changes when other factors than income change - for example a rise in interest rates or a fall in consumer confidence might lead to a fall in consumption spending at each level of income.
In this case the marginal propensity to consume has fallen leading to a fall in consumption at each level of income.
If an individual's income fell to zero some of his existing spending could be sustained by using savings.

 Integrating the Keynesian Relationships
thus investment is a function of changes in the real user cost of capital (c), changes in the price of output (p), changes in output (Y) and the level of capital (K).
The implication, then, is that temporary increases in income will not have much of an effect of consumption behavior but rather be accumulated as savings, whereas changes in the expected income stream (permanent income) will lead to substantial changes in consumption.
This gradualness is governed by marginal adjustment costs which are, in turn, the reason for a falling marginal efficiency of investment (MEI) function.

The Keynesian consumption function shows consumption as a function of disposable income: C = f (YD) Real disposable income is equal to real gross national product, minus taxation.
Friedman maintained that each of consumption, expenditure and income could be decomposed into two elements: planned and transitory.
C = Cp + Ct and Y = Yp + Yt C = Total consumption Y = Total income Cp = Planned consumption Yp = Planned income Ct = Transitory consumption Yt = Transitory income Planned (or permanent) income and expenditure can represent a consistent part of an individual’s income and expenditure.

 The Consumption Function
We build up the consumption function from two facts: (1) that there is a baseline level of consumption spending that would continue even if incomes were zero, and (2) that for each $1 increase in total incomes, consumption spending increases by a smaller amount--say $c'.
A key tool in building up economists' standard model of the business cycle is the so-called consumption function: an algebraic relationship between national income and consumption spending that tells us what, for each possible level of national income, the level of consumption spending will be.
The parameter c' of the consumption function is called the marginal propensity to consume.

 SFB 504 glossary: Consumption
The interest rate influences consumption via saving because of the intertemporal substitution from one period to a future period: Income that is not used for consumption purposes can be saved and consumed one period later, earning an interest payment and hence allowing for more consumption in the future.
Both models emphasize the distinction between (1) consumer expenditures measured by the national income account and (2) consumption which is explained by optimal allocation of present and future recources over time.
The consumption function explains how much a household consumes as a function of income (and, in some cases, other explanatory variables).
