Estimation of demand functions using cross-sectional household data: The problem revisited Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • A procedure that corrects for selectivity bias is proposed to estimate demand functions using cross-sectional data under the assumption that prices vary across households. This procedure, which extends the work by Cox and Wohlgenant, includes a two-equation system of expenditure and unit value functions. This model is applied to household expenditures for beef steaks and roasts.
