The idea of duality has proved to be a powerful device in modern work on the economics of consumer behaviour. The authors have used duality to provide an integrated and accessible treatment of this subject. The book focuses on applications of the theory to welfare economics and econometric analysis. The book begins with four chapters that provide a self-contained presentation of the basic theory and its use in applied econometrics. These chapters also include elementary extensions of the theory to labour supply, durable goods, the consumption function, and rationing. The rest of the book is divided into three parts. In the first of these the authors discuss restrictions on choice and aggregation problems. The next part consists of chapters on consumer index numbers; household characteristics, demand, and household welfare comparisons; and social welfare and inequality. The last part extends the coverage of consumer behaviour to include the quality of goods and household production theory, labour supply and human capital theory, the consumption function and intertemporal choice, the demand for durable goods, and choice under uncertainty.

Author: Economics and Consumer Behavior, 1980. Contributor articles to professional journals.
The relationship of theory to applied economics: thus each theoretical contribution arises out of a problem in applied economics. And conversely, each applied piece is placed within a tight theoretic framework. The main areas are: aggregation theory, particularly in the context of consumer demand and labour supply.
Index numbers and quality measurement with applications to consumer and producer durables. Prices and inequality. The distributional impact of different structures of relative prices.
Theory and measurement of equivalence scales and hence welfare comparisons across households. NonWalrasian macroeconomics. Employment functions.
Productivity measurement. And aggregate production functions.
Fellow Econometric Society, British Academy.
