This study uses the Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System to estimate food demand among Filipino households. Our study uses the recently released 2018 Family Income and Expenditure Survey and the Stone-Lewbel price index in the absence of price data on food groups. Results show that demand for...

We extend the d cifically we analyse constant absolute and constant relative risk aversion, provide conditionsfor the existence of equilibrium, and evaluate equilibrium prices at US-data. We find that constant absolute risk aversion works particularly well at moderate levels of risk aversion. In...

When we talk about the consumption of a food, we must take into account its importance for a balanced human diet, its production capacity, consumer preferences for that food and, last but not least, retail prices.

This paper assesses the profit and welfare effects of firms' ability to charge personalized prices in markets where consumer demand is sensitive to price changes. In a mill pricing model, regardless of demand elasticity, personalized pricing (PP) raises consumer surplus at the expense of...

In this paper, I show that the "Bayesian inversion" of demand, which is defined as the posterior distribution of random utilities given realized choices, can replace Berry, Levinsohn, and Pakes (1995)’ "mean utility inversion" and radically simplify the estimation of discrete choice models...

Using international holdings data, we estimate a demand system for financial assets across 36 countries. The demand system provides a unified framework for decomposing variation in exchange rates, long-term yields, and stock prices; interpreting major economic events such as the European...
