ThissectionofarticlesselectedfromATheoryoftheConsumptionFunction,P26-30.ThewriterisFriedmanMilton.

Theassumptionsthatthefirsttwocorrelations—betweenthepermanentandtransitorycomponentsofincomeandofconsumption—arezeroseemverymildandhighlyplausible.Indeed,bythemselves,theyhavelittlesubstantivecontentandcanalmostbeassimplycompletingortranslatingthedefinitionsoftransitoryandpermanentcomponents;thequalitativenotionthatthetransitorycomponentisintendedtoembodyisofanaccidentalandtransientadditiontoorsubtractionfromincome,whichisalmostequivalenttosayinganadditionorsubtractionthatisnotcorrelatedwiththerestofincome.Themergingoferrorsofmeasurementwithtransitorycomponentscontributesfurthertotheplausibilitythatthesecorrelationsarezero.

Foragroupofindividuals,itisplausibletosupposethattheabsolutesizeofthetransitorycomponentvarieswiththesizeofthepermanentcomponent:

Theassumptionthatthethirdcorrelationin(3.3)—betweenthetransitorycomponentsofincomeandconsumption—iszeroisamuchstrongerassumption.Itisprimarilythisassumptionthatintroducesimportantsubstantivecontentintothehypothesisandmakesitsusceptibleofcontradictionbyawiderangeofphenomenacapableofbeingobserved.Theultimatetestofitsacceptabilityisofcoursewhethersuchphenomenaareinfactobserved,andmostofwhatfollowsisdevotedtothisquestion.Itishardlyworthproceedingtosuchmorerefinedtests,however,unlesstheassumptioncanpass—oratleastnotfailmiserably—themuchcrudertestofconsistencywithcasualobservationofone'sselfandone'sneighbors,sosomecommentsontheintuitiveplausibilityoftheassumptionarenotoutoforder.

Thecommonnotionthatsavings,oratleastcertaincomponentsofsavings,area"residual"speaksstronglyfortheplausibilityoftheassumption.Forthisnotionimpliesthatconsumptionisdeterminedbyratherlong-termconsiderations,sothatanytransitorychangesinincomeleadprimarilytoadditionstoassetsortotheuseofpreviouslyaccumulatedbalancesratherthantocorrespondingchangesinconsumption.

Yetfromanotherpointofview,theassumptionseemshighlyimplausible.Willnotamanwhoreceivesanunexpectedwindfalluseatleastsomepartofitin"riotousliving,"i.e.inconsumptionexpenditures?

Or,toputitdifferently,isnotthetimingofthereplacementofdurablegoodsandofadditionstothestockofsuchgoodslikelytosomeextenttobeadjustedsoastocoincidewithwindfalls?

Twootherconsiderationarguefortheplausibilityoftheassumptionthattransitorycomponentsofincomeandconsumptionareuncorrelated.First,theaboveidentificationofawindfallwithtransitoryincomeisnotprecise.Suppose,forexample,inheritancesareincluded.inaparticularconceptofmeasuredincome.Consideraconsumerunitwhosereceiptsremainunchangedoverasuccessionoftimeperiodsexceptthatitreceivesaninheritanceinthefinalperiod.Iftheinheritancewasexpectedtooccursometimeorother,itwillalreadyhavebeenallowedforinpermanentincome;thetransitorycomponentofincomeisonlytheexcessoftheinheritanceoverthiselementofpermanentincome.Therereasonwhythereceiptoftheinheritanceshouldmakeconsumptioninthefinalperioddifferentfromthatofprecedingperiods,exceptthroughinabilitytoborrowinadvanceonthestrengthoftheinheritance.Butthisimpliesthatthereceiptoftheinheritancechangesw(theratioofwealthtoincome)in(2.6);itisthereforealreadytakenintoaccountinthehypothesis.Thereisnoessentialdifferenceiftheinheritanceisunexpected.Theeffectoftheinheritanceisthentoincreasethepermanentincomeoftheunit,andthiswilljustifyahigherconsumptioninthefinalperiod;againthetransitorycomponentisonlytheexcessofthewindfalloverthiselementofpermanentincome,anditisnolongerintuitivelyobviousthatitshouldleadtoanincreaseincurrentconsumption.7Thesecondconsiderationisthatjustasthereareinstancesinwhichonewouldexpectatransitoryincreaseinincometoproduceatransitoryincreaseinconsumption,soalsothereareinstancesinwhich,onewouldexpectthereverse.Thesimplestexampleiswhenatransitoryincreaseinincomereducesopportunitiesfor-consumptionaswhenitisobtainedbyworkinglongerhoursorgoingtoabackwardcountry.Suchnegativeandpositivecorrelationswilltendtooffsetoneanother.

Theprecedingremarksabstractfromerrorsofmeasurement.Yet,asnoted,inanystatisticalanalysiserrorsofmeasurementwillingeneralbeindissolublymergedwiththecorrectlymeasuredtransitorycomponents.Theeffectonthecorrelationbetweenstatisticallyrecordedtransitorycomponentsofincomeandconsumptiondependscriticallyonhowthestatisticaldataareobtained.Ifincomeandconsumptionaremeasuredindependently,the.errorsofestimatemightbeexpectedtobeindependentaswellandthereforetocontributetowardasmallorzeroobservedcorrelationbetweentransitorycomponentsofincomeandconsumption.Ontheotherhand,ifconsumptionisestimated,asitfrequentlyis,bymeasuringpendentlysavingsandincomeandsubtractingtheformerfromthelatter,thenmeasuredconsumptionandmeasuredincomehavecommonerrorsofmeasurement.Thistendstowardapositiveobservedcorrelationbetweentransitorycomponentsofincomeandconsumption.

Thepurposeoftheseremarksisnottodemonstratethatazerocorrelationistheonlyplausibleassumption—neitherevidencelikethatalludedtonoranyothercanjustifysuchaconclusion.Itspurposeisrathertoshowthatcommonobservationdoesnotrenderitabsurdtosupposethatahypothesisembodyingazerocorrelationcanyieldafairlycloseapproximationtoobservedconsumerbehavior.Theassumptionthatthecorrelationbetweentransitorycomponentsofincomeandconsumptioniszerocould,ofcourse,bereplacedbythelessrestrictiveassumptionthatitisapositivenumberbetweenzeroandunity,butthiswouldgreatlyweakenthehypothesisandreduceitspotentialusefulnessforpredictingbehavior.Itseemshighlyundesirabletodosountilandunlessasignificantcontradictionarisesbetweenthestrongerhypothesisandempiricalevidenceonconsumerbehavior.
