Question
Chapter 4R, Problem 1CTQ
To determine
If the permanent hypothesis can be supported by evidence.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
The permanent income hypothesis states that people tend to spend and smoothen their consumption based on their expected long-term average income also known as permanent income rather than their current income. This hypothesis is supported by practical evidence. We often see white-collar workers spending more than what they can afford using tools like credit cards. They do these because they understand their high-income potential and foresee a high expected long-term average income. These groups of workers tend to save only when they realize that their current income exceeds their permanent income.
