Demand for tea in the UK 1874–1938: An econometric study
估计了1874-1938年英国茶叶需求的价格和收入弹性，并分析了人口、组织变化和社会习惯等因素对弹性差异的影响，有助于理解茶叶消费增长的原因。
The main objective of this study is to provide estimates of price and income elasticities of demand for tea in order to explain the growth in tea consumption over the period 1874–1938. Numerous other factors, both economic and social, may contribute to changing patterns of consumption. Indeed, such factors as demographic and organisational changes and different social habits may exert an influence on price and income elasticities. A subsidiary aim of this study is to examine the influence of these factors on the differences in income and price elasticities in demand for tea over various sub‐periods between 1874 and 1938.
