Semiparametric estimation and consumer demand
探讨如何在消费者需求实证分析中应用半参数方法，利用英国家庭支出调查数据估计恩格尔曲线，并通过扩展的部分线性模型处理家庭构成差异，为不同人口结构的家庭提供非参数恩格尔曲线的合并方法。
This paper considers the implementation of semiparametric methods in the empirical analysis of consumer demand. The application is to the estimation of the Engel curve relationship and uses the British Family Expenditure Survey. Household composition is modelled using an extended partially linear framework. This is shown to provide a useful method for pooling non-parametric Engel curves across households of different demographic composition. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
