Abstract
The study is an attempt to determine the effect
ofinflation on private consumption expenditure in Nigeria Following an
extensive review oftheoretical and empirical literature, the study estimated a
multiple regression model with total private consumption expenditure as the
dependent variable, while GDP per capita , interest rate, inflation rate and
total national savings as independent variable. Annual time series data
rangingfrom 1981- 2017 ofthe selected variables were employed in the analysis.
The study established that Inflation is has a lagged negative short run and
long run effect on household consumption in Nigeria in the period under review
. An Increase in the general price level reduces the purchasing power of money
thereby reducing consumption expenditure. Finally, the studyfound a long run
relationship between inflation and consumption expenditure in Nigeria.
