Consumption is a common concept in economics, and gives rise to derived concepts such as consumer debt. Generally, consumption is defined in part by comparison to production. But the precise definition can vary because different schools of economists define production quite differently. According to mainstream economists, only the final purchase of goods and services by individuals constitutes consumption, while other types of expenditure - in particular, fixed investment, intermediate consumption and government spending - are placed in separate categories. See consumer choice. Other economists define consumption much more broadly, as the aggregate of all economic activity that does not entail the design, production and marketing of goods and services (e.g. the selection, adoption, use, disposal and recycling of goods and services).
Collective consumption is a concept that refers to the many goods and services that are produced and consumed on a collective level.
Utility is the term used to measure the satisfaction of goods purchased and used. The concept of utility is abstract, since every person's utility is different.
Utility derived from consumption is often considered intangible and unobservable because it reflects individual preferences and satisfaction levels that cannot be directly measured. While we can infer utility through consumer behavior, choices, and market transactions, the actual feeling of satisfaction or happiness is subjective and varies from person to person. Thus, although economists use utility as a theoretical construct to analyze decision-making, it remains an abstract concept rather than a quantifiable entity.
Intermediate consumption is an accounting concept which measures the value of the goods and services consumed as inputs by a process of production. It excludes fixed assets whose consumption is recorded as consumption of fixed capital.
Consumption is a specific type of demand - demand for goods and services.
To calculate the optimal consumption bundle, one can use the concept of utility maximization. This involves finding the combination of goods and services that provides the highest level of satisfaction within a given budget constraint. This can be done by comparing the marginal utility per dollar of each good and adjusting the consumption levels until the marginal utility per dollar is equal for all goods. This point represents the optimal consumption bundle.
