Equation A in table 1 shows one such equation, which provides an estimate of the consumption function in the United States. The t-statistics on the level of consumption, income and wealth indicate that these items are not statistically different from zero at conventional 5 per cent significance levels. But these statistics are only relevant in assessing the ...
