Abstract
This paper repeats Thornton's (1993) test of the rational expectations‐permanent income hypothesis (REPIH) for Singapore using an alternative data set based upon real disposable income and real consumer expenditure. In contrast to Thornton, but in line with most other studies, we find anticipated income to be significant and interpret this as evidence against the REPIH.
