	Buddhist Economics
		Economics is rather one component of a concerted effort to remedy the problems of humanity; and an economics based on Buddhism, a "Buddhist economics," is therefore not so much a self-contained science, but one of a number of interdependent disciplines working in concert toward the common goal of social, individual and environmental well-being.
		Consumption, for example, which is attuned to the Middle Way, must be balanced to an amount appropriate to the attainment of well-being rather than the satisfaction of desires.
		Buddhist economics must be in concord with the whole causal process and to do that it must have a proper relationship with all three of those areas, and they in turn must be in harmony and mutually supportive.

	Testing theories of consumption behavior using information on aggregate shocks: income seasonality and rainfall in ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Aside from integrating the recent developments in the consumption literature with the model of the farm household, the primary contribution of this article is methodological, because it enables delineation of the underlying structure of financial markets from estimates of how consumption responds to idiosyncratic transitory (anticipated and/or unanticipated) income changes.
		Our approach combines panel data on seasonal income and consumption changes of agricultural households in rural India with information on village-level rainfall "surprises."(1) These rainfall surprises represent aggregate shocks, in the sense that their impact on individual incomes does not average to zero across farmers within a village.
		As an empirical matter, though, consumption patterns under the CMH may look a lot like those under the much weaker PIH, where households are only assumed to smooth their consumption intertemporally by borrowing and lending.

	Wealth or Consumption?
		Adopting the common-sense meaning of "consumption" to mean the end of an item's useful life, rather that meaning "use," will eliminate one source of fuzzy economic thinking.
		If consumption really means "consumption" then we could say that our wealth is approximately all that we ever acquired minus all that we ever consumed.
		The blur of meaning between use and consumption has surely retarded understanding of the importance of durability.

	Does stock market wealth matter for consumption?
		One possibility is that changes in wealth directly cause changes in consumption through their effect on households' contemporaneous budget sets; another possibility is that they merely predict changes in consumption because they signal changes in future income.
		We also estimate that an additional dollar of wealth leads households with moderate securities holdings to increase consumption between 5 cents and 15 cents, with the most likely gain in the lower part of this range.
