Dutch term or phrase: reguliere consumptie
Hi all,

I'm looking for the correct translation of "reguliere consumptie".

The text is about cost-benefit analyses applied to ecosystem services and discusses the Ramsey rule. It is a scientific report, target audience the science world and decision-makers / policy-makers.

Fragment:

I'm not sure if it's simply "regular consumption" or "normal consumption", but, since it occurs 60 times in 38 pages, I think it's astandard concept in economics, covered by a specific term.

Any help greatly appreciated.
