(The modern system-wide approach to applied demand analysi...)
The modern system-wide approach to applied demand analysis emphasizes a unity between theory and applications. Its fIrm foundations in economic theory make it one of the most impressive areas of applied econometrics. This book presents a large number of applications of recent innovations in the area. The database used consist of about 18 annual observations for 10 commodities in 18 OECO countries (more than 3,100 data points). Such a large body of data should provide convincing evidence, one way or the other, about the validity of consumption theory. A PREVIEW OF THE BOOK The overall importance of the analysis presented in the book can be seen from the following table which shows the signifIcant contribution of the OECO to the world economy. As can be seen, the 24 member countries account for about 50 percent of world GOP in 1975. In this book we present an extensive analysis of the consumption patterns of the OECO countries.

(The modern system-wide approach to applied demand analysi...)
The modern system-wide approach to applied demand analysis emphasizes a unity between theory and applications. Its firm foundations in economic theory make it one of the most impressive areas in applied econometrics. As private consumption plays an important role in any regional or multiregional economic model, the main aim of this book is to introduce this modern system-wide approach to the topic of inter-regional consumption comparisons. This study presents a large number of applications of recent innovations in system-wide approaches using a new, specially constructed regional consumption database for Australia for the period 1975-1990. The new innovations presented include, simple data-analytic techniques for analyzing regional consumption data;and new tests based on computer simulations for hypothesis testing. The empirical results presented in the book have a number of uses. Application of the above new developments give rise to reliable estimates of income and price elasticities of demand for eight broad commodity groups, as well as for the transport and communications group, private transport, public transport and communication, in the six Australian states. A feature of these results is that a number of major empirical regularities are identified that seem to span different periods and different regions.
