Nonparametric and Parametric Analyses of Demand for Food at Home and Away from Home

  • Lee, Hwang Jaw

Abstract

Nonparametric tests show that food at home and food away from home can be appropriately included as separate groups or a combined group in a complete demand system for the first stage budgeting. However, the estimated gross and compensated price elasticities are sensitive to alternative groupings of expenditure categories.
