Consumption, in economics, the use of goods and services by households. Consumption is distinct from consumption expenditure, which is the purchase of goods and services for use by households.
Private Consumption Expenditures (C): 1  As interest rates increase, people begin to save more and consume less in relation to their spending/saving habits with lower interest rates, so C decreases. 2  When taxes go down, people tend to have more income, so C increases. 3  When income increases, C increases.
