Question
Define or explain the following concept.
Autonomous Consumption.
Solution
Autonomous Consumption.
(i) Consumption is that part of income which is spent on purchasing goods and services. Autonomous consumption refers to the types of consumption which is independent of income. It is income inelastic.
(ii) Autonomous consumption can never be zero. Even at a zero income level, there is some positive autonomous consumption.
