This paper analyses the concept of consumer confidence, highlights its usefulness and reviews the literature, especially regarding its predictive power on future consumption and income. The survey carried out shows that a large majority of the works, especially the most cited ones, support the idea that consumer confidence indices, together with other traditional economic variables, are good predictors of consumption, savings or income.
