The paper is concerned with the inter-relationship between the theoretical specification of household behaviour and the application of econometric results to the analysis of public policy. The first part of the paper discusses the relationship between the optimum tax literature and econometric specification of point labour supply and commodity demands. The second part introduces an ‘activity model’ of the allocation of money and time, which generalises the standard linear expenditure system, and describes the preliminary results of estimating the model for the United Kingdom Family Expenditure Survey data for 1973. The remainder of the paper uses the estimates to examine the effect of reducing income taxation and increasing value added tax on both labour supply and welfare.
