A recent literature considers the identification of heterogeneous demand and supply models via "quasi … demand when one has "micro data'' linking characteristics of individual consumers to their choices. Micro data provide a … panel structure allowing one to exploit variation across consumers within each market, where latent demand shocks are fixed …

We develop an asset pricing model with flexible heterogeneity in asset demand across investors, designed to match … institutional and household holdings. A portfolio-choice model implies characteristics-based demand when returns have a factor … variables estimator for the characteristics-based demand system to address the endogeneity of demand and asset prices. Using U …

Our applications …How much do calorie requirements vary across households and how do they affect food consumption patterns? Since caloric … intake is a widely-used indicator of poverty and welfare, investigating changes in caloric requirements and food consumption …

This paper examines demand systems where the demand for a good depends only on its own price, consumer income, and a … implies that such demand can take only one of two simple forms. Conversely, here we show that only weak conditions ensure that … such demand systems are integrable, i.e. can be derived from the maximization of a well-behaved utility function. This …
