•The Korean War took place between 1950 and 1953.
•The Korean War occurred because Communist and
Non-Communist parties had many conflicts.

•There was much instability in consumer spending during 1950-1951.
•Consumer expenditures were primarily a function of real income that became widely accepted during the time of the
Korean War.•The war not only affected Korea, but the United States’
consumer spending as well.

•Research shows, from Gross Domestic Product (GDP) rates, that the economy of the United States was not as bad during the Korean War as it was in World War
II.•However, the shares of Gross National Product (GNP) devoted to security expenditures, were very similar in
1941 and 1951.

•The tactic of the United States was to have a defense mobilization that would have a stimulus to economic expansion if government expenditures increased the
aggregate demand for goods and services.•However, the announcement of the mobilization plan
stimulated the expansion of the economy and was a huge influence throughout the Korean War.

•Consumer spending increased immediately following the invasion of South Korea.
•In July, 1950, retail sales went up 9%, while many other sales rose higher.
•A few stocks reduced slightly because of the immediate purchases all across the country.

•Research shows that while retail and other sales increased, personal income was not increasing at
the same rate. •The annual personal savings rate declined by
60% within the first six months of the Korean War.

•The third quarter of 1950 had the most consumer expenditures for the period of the
Korean War.•Consumer spending would increase from time to time when a new campaign would
come out about the war.
