This paper shows that, consistent with a signaling-by-consuming model a la Veblen, income elasticities can be predicted from the visibility of consumer expenditures. We outline a stylized conspicuous consumption model where income elasticity is endogenously predicted to be higher if a good is...

We solve Ireland's (1994) conspicuous consumption model (where social-status concerns are introduced into the utility function) for Cobb-Douglas (CD) utility. In the resulting generalized CD consumer model, Engel curves are no longer limited to linearity. In the homothetic CD case, total...
