Abstract

This thesis uses time series analysis to construct models of income and consumption in the United States between 1947 and 1983. The data are quarterly observations on three measures of income and two of consumption. The study begins with a survey of univariate and multivariate model building techniques. With the life cycle - permanent income hypothesis as a foundation, theoretical models of income and consumption are discussed. These models are then fit to the data and examined. Tests for causality are also covered in order to determine the manner in which the two processes are related in a multivariate model.
