consumption smoothing
Consumption smoothing is the economic concept used to express the desire of people to have a stable path of consumption. Since Milton Friedman's permanent income theory (1956) and Modigliani and Brumberg (1954) life-cycle model, the idea that agents prefer a stable path of consumption has been widely accepted.〔Friedman, Milton (1956). "A Theory of the Consumption Function." Princeton N. J.: Princeton University Press.〕〔Modigliani, F. & Brumberg, R. (1954): 'Utility analysis and the consumption function: An interpretation of cross-section data'. In: Kurihara, K.K (ed.): Post-Keynesian Economics〕 This idea came to replace the perception that people had a marginal propensity to consume and therefore current consumption was tied to current income.
Friedman's theory argues that consumption is linked to the permanent income of agents. Thus, when income is affected by transitory shocks, for example, agents' consumption should not change, since they can use savings or borrowing to adjust. This theory assumes that agents are able to finance consumption with earnings that are not yet generated, and thus assumes perfect capital markets. Empirical evidence shows that liquidity constraint is one of the main reasons why it is difficult to observe consumption smoothing in the data.

Robert Hall (1978) formalized Friedman's idea.〔Hall, Robert (1978). "Stochastic Implications of the Life Cycle-Permanent Income Hypothesis: Theory and Evidence." Journal of Political Economy, vol. 86, pp. 971-988.〕 By taking into account the diminishing returns to consumption, and therefore, assuming a concave utility function, he showed that agents optimally would choose to keep a stable path of consumption.
With (cf. Hall's paper)
:E_t being the mathematical expectation conditional on all information available in t
:\delta = 1/\beta-1 being the agent's rate of time preference
:r_t = R_t - 1\ge \delta being the real rate of interest in t
:u being the strictly concave one-period utility function
:c_t being the consumption in t
:y_t = w_t being the earnings in t
:A_t being the assets, apart from human capital, in t.
agents choose the consumption path that maximizes:
:E_\sum_^\beta^\left()
Subject to a sequence of budget constraints:
: A_=R_(A_+y_-c_)
The first order necessary condition in this case will be:
: \beta E_R_\frac)})}=1
By assuming that R_=R=\beta ^ we obtain, for the previous
equation:
: E_u^(c_)=u^(c_)
Which, due to the concavity of the utility function, implies:
: E_()=c_
Thus, rational agents would expect to achieve the same consumption in every period.
Hall also showed that for a quadratic utility function, the optimal consumption is equal to:
: c_=\left(\frac\right ) \left(E_\sum_^\left( \frac\right) ^y_+A_\right )
This expression shows that agents choose to consume a fraction of their present discounted value of their human and financial wealth.
