摘要：

We estimate the path of aggregate consumption implied by the permanent income hypothesis by allowing for parameter variation dictated by the theory. Our evidence, obtained by applying the Kalman filter to U.S. data for 1929-2001, supports the proposed generalisation and the fluctuations in the parameter estimates comply with a priori theoretical expectations.
