The consumption discount rate should account for the possibility that, as consumption grows, the marginal unit of consumption may be considered to have less social value.

For two years now, the growth rate of private consumption (measured at constant prices) has been negative 1 in 2002, 0.5 in 2003. Similar declines in real consumption are rare in industrial countries, as in bad years consumers typically draw on their savings to keep their consumption relatively constant.

Consumption

Nowhere is that more evident than in China. With private consumption having fallen to a record low of 35 of GDP in 2008 (fully ten percentage points below the Asian norm), China faces major rebalancing imperatives all the more urgent if post crisis consumption growth in the West remains weak.

A normal German household is not on its last financial legs, and is therefore able to compensate for income losses by adjusting its savings. This is an additional reason why private consumption in Germany, according to last week s joint forecast by Germany s leading economic institutes, will increase by 0.3 in 2009 in the midst of the worst post war economic crisis, whereas private consumption is in freefall almost everywhere else in the world.

While the share of private and public consumption in GDP increased from 117 per cent in 1999 to 134 per cent in 2004, the share of total investment dropped from 43 per cent to 27 per cent.

And yet, while trends among European economies have varied, private investment was, overall, the hardest hit component of GDP during the crisis, plunging by more than 350 billion ten times greater than the fall in private consumption and four times more than the decline in real GDP between 2007 and 2011. The magnitude of the private investment downturn was, in fact, unprecedented and lies at the heart of Europe s economic malaise.
