Answer to Question 1

If consumption behavior depends mostly on current constraints and immediate consequences, then current consumption is driven by current income, as the Keynesian consumption function says. Libertarian paternalism seeks to tighten the constraints. More effective inducements to save might lower the marginal propensity to consume, but it will be as true as ever that changes in current consumption will be driven principally by changes in current income.

Answer to Question 2

D
