DEF

Sensation of having greater spending capacity due to a rise in the stock exchange, property market, and economic activity in general, which leads to an increase in expenses and indebtedness and reduced savings even though no real benefit has yet been felt. This tends to heat up the economy and confirm expectations, unlike the poverty effect.
