The Causes that Affect the Consumption of High and Low Income People.
Interest Rates
- Higher prices discourage the borrowing used to finance some types of consumption expenditures (such as automobiles and furniture) and it improves the return on earnings diverted as saving into the markets. As such, consumption reduces and saving improves. Lower prices work in the other way.
Consumer Confidence
- If people have more assurance about the state of the economy, they are more likely to boost their investing. However, because this additional investing is not the result of additional money, it must come from savings. As such, consumption improves and saving reduces. A drop in customer assurance works in the other way.
