The function is used to calculate the amount of total consumption economics consumption in an Economics economy . It is made up of autonomous consumption that is not influenced by current income and induced consumption that is influenced by the economy s income level.

Orphan date March 2007 Consumption maps are designed to help managers understand the customer s viewpoint while going through the company s business process . In analyzing the process, Management managers are able to question the value of certain steps while working to create an ideal experience for the customer. In determining value, it can be defined as something that the customer is willing to pay for in working to solve his her problem. To create a consumption map include all the activities of the consumer in its participation of the business and list the time taken to complete the activities. Next, determine if the time taken is wasteful or valuable. For example waiting is a form of waste. After identifying wasteful steps and inefficient time use for the consumer, produce strategies on how to improve the process that will not only satisfy the customer but also create a more efficient workplace for the business and its employees.

Economic theories of intertemporal consumption seek to explain people s preferences in relation to consumption economics consumption and saving over the course of their life. The earliest work on the subject was by Irving Fisher and Roy Harrod who described hump saving , hypothesizing that savings would be highest in the middle years of a person s life as they saved for retirement. In the 1950s, more well defined models built on discounted utility theory and approached the question of inter temporal consumption as a lifetime income optimization problem. Solving this problem mathematically, assuming that individuals are rational and have access to complete markets, Franco Modigliani Modigliani & Brumberg 1954 , Albert K. Ando Albert Ando , and Milton Friedman 1957 developed what became known as the life cycle model . This model predicts that people consume an Annuity finance theory annuity of their expected lifetime income at all points in their life. Thus, the lifetime consumption profile was expected to be essentially flat, with people borrowing against future earnings during their early study and working life when income is low, saving greatly during their most productive working years and consuming saved assets during retirement. Windfall gain s would be treated the same way as an unexpected increase in income its lifetime annuity value would be consumed and the rest saved. Attempts to test the life cycle model against real world data have met with mixed success.
