摘要
From the theoretical point of view, households' consumption inequality represents the inequality of the expected utilities through their lifecycles if each family optimizes its lifetime utility. We investigate its empirical validity, applying a regression analysis. The result of the regression analysis shows its empirical advantages as a measure for economic inequality.
