Abstract: The paper is about the economic modelling of aggregate consumption expenditure with particular emphasis on the distribution effect of income. Under certain assumptions on the evolution over time of the population of households ("structural stability") we shall derive a first order approximation for the change in the aggregate consumption ratio. This approximation allows to analyze whether and how the distribution effect on income affects the aggregate consumption ratio.
