Merge from Consumption smoothing date July 2011 Merge from Permanent income hypothesis date July 2011 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.
