项目摘要

(1) Japan : This analysis examines changes in net worth in the Japanese householods in the period of the 1990s called Lost Decade and analyzes changes in consumer behavior due to the shock of the Bubble burst. The value of net worth in 1994 was about 30 percent of that in 1989. This drastic decline affected household saving behavior. The stimulus toward consumption for all households became weaker because of the depreciation of (unrealized) wealth experienced by almost all households when the Bubble burst. Using the Chow test the present paper concludes that a cohort made by cross-section is different from a cohort produced by from time series-cross section micro-data sets in the 1990s.(2) US and Japan : In many countries a gap between macroeconomic and microeconomic statistics is observed. To explain the gap, the present analysis tests the misreporting hypothesis originally proposed by Deaton and Irish (1984). The data used for estimation involves ten clusters of consumer durables fro … More m the Consumer Expenditure Survey in the U.S. Misreporting takes place if a household purchased goods but did not report the amount (type 1 misreporting), or it purchased goods but reported the amount incorrectly (type 2 misreporting). The variance of the measurement error in type 2 misreporting is small and is not statistically significant. The main source of underreporting is due to zero expenditure households that purchased goods but did not report the amount (type 1 misreporting).(3) Europe and Japan : Given the rapid aging of populations in advanced industrialized societies around the world, there is considerable interest about the attendant consequences. This analysis focuses on elderly consumer behavior in Europe and Japan. Regarding the demographic effect, we tested two types of specification such as translation and scaling including the equivalent adult scale known as the Amsterdam scale on food expenditure. Our finding indicates the Amsterdam scale is still workable for food expenditure adjustment in European countries. Less

（1）日本：这项分析考试在1990年代的日本Householods中的净值变化，称为“丢失十年”，并分析由于气泡破裂的震惊而分析了消费者行为的变化。 1994年的净资产价值约为1989年的30％。这种急剧下降影响了家庭储蓄行为。由于泡沫破裂时，几乎所有家庭经历的（未实现的）财富的贬值，对所有家庭的消费刺激都变得较弱。使用Chow测试，本文得出的结论是，横截面成立的队列与1990年代的时间序列 - 交叉部分Micro-DATA集合所产生的队列不同。（2）美国和日本：在许多国家 /地区，在许多国家 /地区之间存在宏观经济和微观经济统计数据之间的差距。为了解释差距，目前的分析检验了Deaton and Irish（1984）最初提出的错误报告假设。用于估算的数据涉及十个消费者耐用物的群集……更多的是美国的消费者支出调查，如果家用购买的商品但没有报告金额（1型误报表）或购买商品，但已购买商品，但报告金额错误（2型犯错）。 2型测量误差的差异误报较小，并且在统计学上没有显着意义。报告不足的主要来源是由于购买商品但没有报告金额的零支出家庭。（3）欧洲和日本：鉴于全世界先进工业化社会中人口的迅速衰老，因此对随之而来的后果有很大的兴趣。该分析的重点是欧洲和日本的老年消费者行为。关于人口统计学效应，我们测试了两种类型的规范，例如翻译和缩放，包括等效的成人量表，即阿姆斯特丹量表对食品支出的规模。我们的发现表明，阿姆斯特丹量表对于欧洲国家的粮食支出调整仍然可行。较少的
