Much of the debate on resource management has been dominated by the permanent income hypothesis (PIH) approach, but recent work has questioned its relevance. Recent research has argued that the PIH is inappropriate in low-income countries (LICs) rich in natural resources, as it ignores that these countries are both capital and credit constrained.

sions on permanent income. We derive the random walk of consumption from the life-cycle-permanent-income hypothesis assuming rational expectations and a fixed interest rate, and we report our empirical results on two excess sensitivity tests of the random-walk hypothesis for developing countries. We then allow interest rates and

The Income Hypothesis THE magnitudes termed "permanent income" and "permanent con-sumption" that play such a critical role in the theoretical analysis cannot be observed directly for any individual consumer unit. The most that can be observed are actual receipts and expenditures during some finite period, supplemented, perhaps, by some verbal ...

on testing the permanent income hypothesis (PIH). Much of the empirical work is on the developed countries where opportunities for inter-temporal substitution are generally higher than in the developing countries. There-fore, it is expected that PIH would be valid for only a smaller proportion of consumers in the developing countries.

Hall (1978) has stimulated considerable controversy and empirical work on testing the permanent income hypothesis (PIH). Much of the empirical work is on the developed countries where opportunities for inter-temporal substitution are generally higher than in the developing countries. Therefore, it is expected that PIH would be valid for only a smaller proportion of consumers in the developing ...

Poverty, Excess Senstivity and the Permanent Income Hypothesis: Evidence from a Developing Country In this paper we develop a very simple test to measure 'poverty' in a developing country. From evidence on aggregate consumption we obtain an estimate of the proportion of labour income received by consumers who own no physical or financial ...

Hall has stimulated considerable controversy and empirical work on testing the validity of the permanent income hypothesis (PIH). Much of this work is on the developed countries. In the developing countries per capita incomes show larger fluctuations and for the majority, opportunities for intertemporal substitution are limited.

The permanent income hypothesis (PIH) is a model in the field of economics to explain the formation of consumption patterns.It suggests consumption patterns are formed from future expectations and consumption smoothing. The theory was developed by Milton Friedman and published in his A Theory of Consumption Function, published in 1957 and subsequently formalized by Robert Hall in a rational ...

Remittance flows to developing countries were estimated at $436 billion in 2014, ... Based on the permanent income hypothesis, we argue that because of this temporary income increase, migrant families save and potentially invest the remitted money, thus promoting economic growth.

The permanent income hypothesis has been highly contested for its viability in developing countries, such as Bangladesh, where the greater population can be characterized by subsistence living.

This paper focuses on medium term policy options in the economic context of natural resources depletion. In particular, we assess for the first time the adoption of permanent income hypothesis in dynamic CGE model. The model is benchmarked in oil country with declining production, namely Cameroon. The results show that the permanent income hypothesis (PIH) renders public finances less ...

This paper empirically examines the validity of the Permanent Income Hypothesis for six developing African countries: Cameroon, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Senegal, and South Africa. The study uses the modified Dickey-Fuller unit root (GLS) test to determine stationarity of real income and consumption. It also applies Gregory and Hansen (1996) test for cointegration, and Phillips and Hansen (1990 ...
