Estimation of Large Consumer Demand Systems

亚瑟卢贝尔布兰代斯大学SBR-9514977 这项研究将试图解决与估计消费者需求有关的许多问题。 这项研究将包括在大多数价格平行变动的情况下，设法分离出价格变动的影响，改进将国家消费趋势的资料与若干年来个人消费的资料结合起来的办法，更好地估计个别商品的支出，特别是在某些商品购买不频繁的情况下（即汽车），以及家庭内部消费决策和行为的建模。 在这项研究中将使用先进的计量经济学技术。

Arthur Lewbel Brandeis University SBR-9514977 The research will attempt to solve many of the problems associated with estimating consumer demand. Included in the research will be an attempt to separate out the effect of changing prices when most prices move in parallel, a refinement for combining information from national consumption trends with information for some years on individuals' consumption, better methods for estimating expenditures on individual goods, particularly when some goods are bought infrequently (i.e. automobiles), and modeling of intrahousehold consumption decisions and behaviors. Sophisticated econometric techniques will be used in this research.
