CHAPTER 5: A COMPARISON OF CONSUMPTION PATTERNS IN THE OECD AND LD COUNTRIES | |
Sommario/riassunto: | This book presents an analysis of consumption patterns in the OECD (rich) and LDC (poor) countries using recent data (1950-1998) and econometric methodology for a number of broadly aggregated consumer goods. The income elasticity estimates for the 46 countries and 9 commodity groups are tabulated. The reliability of these elasticity estimates, and also the demand theory hypotheses, are investigated using simulation techniques. <br><i>Contents: </i><ul><li>An Overview of International Consumption Patterns <i>(E A Selvanathan & S Selvanathan)</i></li><li>Consumer Demand Models <i>(E A Selvanath |
