Nesting the Aids and Translog Demand Systems
构建了一个与效用最大化一致且嵌套了AIDS和超越对数模型的简单需求模型,并用美国总量数据估计,检验了这两个模型的相对适用性。
This paper shows that there exists a relatively simple demand model that is consistent with utility maximization, and has nested within it both the almost ideal demand system and translog models. This model is exactly aggregated, then estimated using aggregate U.S. demand data. The results are used to test the relative adequacy of the almost ideal demand system and translog models.
