Methods

Smoothed estimates of the complex relationships between age and intakes of energy, fat, calcium and vitamin C are obtained for males and females from British National Food Survey data covering the period 197494.

This paper applies revealed preference theory to the nonparametric statistical analysis of consumer demand.

Quadratic Engel curves, welfare measurement and consumer demand

Moment conditions are derived for dynamic linear panel data models with linear individual specific effects in the mean and multiplicative individual effects in the conditional ARCH type variance function.

The authors propose a method to test for liquidity constraints which relies on using the within period marginal rate of substitution condition as a benchmark to evaluate the intertemporal Euler equation.

The Hicks-Leontief composite commodity theorem permits aggregation of sets of goods that have identical price movements into composite groups of goods, each of which can be treated like a single good for demand analysis.

Both direct utility function and Frisch cost function representations of demand system rank are derived.

The generalized method of moments (GMM) estimation technique is discussed for count data models with endogenous regressors.

We use two-and three-period overlapping-generations (OLG) models to show that entries and exits (births and deaths) produce a relationship between aggregate consumption growth and the interest rate that is fundamentally different from the individual Euler equation for consumption.

This note gives a theorem concerning choice of covariate distribution.
