A notion of ''behavioral heterogeneity'' of a finite population of households is modelled. It is shown that the higher the degree of behavioral heterogeneity the less sensitive depends the aggregate consumption expenditure ratio upon prices.As a consequence, behavioral heterogeneity implies a...

The following question is analyzed: under what circumstances can one a stable (i.e., time invariant) functional relationship which links aggregate consumption in period t with aggregate income in period t and another "determinants" of consumtion that refer to periods prior to period t and can be...

The paper investigates the existence of a stable money demand function for four major european countries. Estimation of individual and aggregate money demand functions is performed using the cointegration framework developed by Engle and Granger (1987). The results for aggregate and individual...

Using the Family Expenditure Survey (FES) data for the United Kingdom (UK), the paper specifies and estimates a ’complete’ Hilden- brand Kneip (HK) model of consumption, extending earlier efforts that were ’partial’ in nature. As the estimated parameters in the ’partial’ HK model are...

This paper deals with different concepts of income elasticities of demand for a heterogenous population and the relationship between individual and aggregate elasticities is analyzed. In general, the aggregate elasticity is  not equal to the mean of individual elasticities. The difference...

This paper attempts to provide empirical evidence of the positive definiteness of the mean income effect matrix, a sufficient condition for market demand to satisfy the {\it law of demand} derived by H\"{a}rdle, Hildenbrand and Jerison [HHJ(1991)]. Increasing heterogeneity in spending of...

Non-parametric data envelopment analysis (DEA) estimators based on linear programming methods have been widely applied … inference doubtful. This paper derives the asymptotic distribution of DEA estimators under variable returns-to-scale. This … well as smoothing of the DEA frontier estimate. Both bootstrap procedures allow for dependence of the inefficiency process …
