Aggregation Theory for Incomplete Systems

LaFrance, Jeffrey T.; Beatty, Timothy K.M.; Pope, Rulon D. - Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics, … - 2005

Gormanâ€™s theory of demand is extended comprehensively to incomplete systems. The incomplete systems approach dramatically increases this class of models. The separate roles of symmetry and adding up are identified in the rank and the functional form of this class of models. We show that...

Building Gorman's Nest

LaFrance, Jeffrey T.; Beatty, Timothy K. M.; Pope, Rulon D. - Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics, … - 2004

Gorman Engel curves are extended to incomplete systems. The roles of Slutsky symmetry and homogeneity/adding up are isolated in the rank and functional form restrictions for Gorman systems. Symmetry determines the rank condition. The maximum rank is three for incomplete and complete systems....

An Econometric Model of the Demand for Food and Nutrition

LaFrance, Jeffrey T. - Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics, … - 1999

A flexible, full rank two model of food consumption that is globally consistent with economic theory, aggregates across income, demographic variables, and variations in micro demand parameters, and accommodates tradeoffs between tastes and nutrition is derived. The econometric demand model is...

Full Rank Rational Demand Systems

LaFrance, Jeffrey T; Pope, Rulon D. - Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics, … - 2006

We extend the set of full rank nominal and deflated income demand systems to rational demand systems of any rank and present a unifying expression for the indirect preferences of all full rank demand models.

The Future Trajectory of US CO2 Emissions: The Role of State vs. Aggregate Information

Auffhammer, Maximilian; Steinhauser, Ralf - Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics, … - 2006

-of-sample performance of univariate and multivariate forecasting models by aggregating state level forecasts versus forecasting the … aggregate directly. We find evidence that forecasting the disaggregate series and accounting for spatial effects drastically … improves forecasting performance under Root Mean Squared Forecast Error Loss. Based on the in-sample observations we attempt to …
