Book On Dual Approaches to Demand Systems Estimation in the Presence of Binding Quantity Constraints

Download or read book On Dual Approaches to Demand Systems Estimation in the Presence of Binding Quantity Constraints written by Channing Arndt and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Binding quantity constraints, especially non-negativity constraints, appear frequently in micro-level data sets. Two dual approaches to demand systems estimation in the presence of binding non-negativity constraints are reviewed. It is demonstrated that, in a demand systems context, the more commonly used approach for treating binding non-negativity constraints is incompatible with economic theory and thus produces inconsistent estimates of price response. Furthermore, Monte Carlo experiments indicate that bias can be substantial even if limit observations comprise a relatively small portion of the sample. The alternative, a direct maximum likelihood estimation approach, has desirable properties; however, analytical and computational difficulties severely hamper application. The numerical integration approach, employed here for direct maximum likelihood estimation, is presented. It is believed that this integration approach facilitates direct maximum likelihood estimation for some problems. Nevertheless, the ability to estimate complex demand systems remains constrained.

Book Functional Form And Utility

Download or read book Functional Form And Utility written by Arthur Goldberger and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-04-23 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a review of classical consumer demand theory, emphasizing the form of utility and demand functions. The theory is developed in general terms with reference to the linear expenditure system and with reference to alternative specifications of complete sets of demand functions.

Book Demand System Specification and Estimation

Download or read book Demand System Specification and Estimation written by Robert A. Pollak and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1992-08-06 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the principal issues involved in bridging the gap between the pure theory of consumer behavior and its empirical implementation. The theoretical starting point is the familiar static, one-period, utility maximizing model in which the consumer allocates a fixed budget among competing categories of goods. The authors focus upon four issues of primary importance in empirical demand analysis: the structure of preferences, the treatment of demographic variables, treatment of dynamics, and the specification of the stochastic structure of the demand system.

Book Demand System with Binding Non negativity Constraints and the Effect of Product Quality on Net Trade

Download or read book Demand System with Binding Non negativity Constraints and the Effect of Product Quality on Net Trade written by Xiaonan Liu and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second study investigates consumers' demand for fresh and processed fruit by applying a two-step estimation procedure to a Quadratic Expenditure System. Using homescan data, we find that household size, income, region, and price significantly affect fruit purchases. We estimate own-price and cross-price elasticities and expenditure elasticities for 18 categories of fruit. More processed fruits serve as substitutes for fresh fruits than complements. Often fresh fruits act as normal goods, and processed fruits as inferior goods. Providing a retail subsidy for fresh fruit or imposing a tax on canned and (or) dried fruit could promote fresh fruit consumption for a healthier diet.
