| Summary |
As might be expected from an activity which comprises well over half of aggregate economic spending, the behavior of private consumption remains one of the most important areas of economic research. As yet, however, there is little consensus on how to characterize this behavior empirically, with some investigators focusing on the importance of optimizing behavior in a world with complete markets and infinitely lived consumers, and others on the impact of market imperfections, rules of thumb, and life-cycle effects. This paper provides a way of assessing the relative contribution of these different types of behavior to aggregate consumption |
