Tiivistelmä: | It is predicted by Friedman's Permanent Income Hypothesis (PIH) that the income elasticity of consumption should be higher for households (here as: h-dlds.) for which a large fraction of the variation of their income is permanent than for h-hlds. facing more transitory variations in income. This prediction is tested using modern h-hlds. data of the U.S. Consumer Expenditure Survey. The results offer some support for the PIH. |
