This paper proposes a straightforward, easy to implement approximate F-test which is useful for testing restrictions in multivariate regression models. We derive the asymptotics for our test statistic and investigate its finite sample properties through a series of Monte Carlo experiments. Both...

Gorman’s theory of demand is extended comprehensively to incomplete systems. The incomplete systems approach dramatically increases this class of models. The separate roles of symmetry and adding up are identified in the rank and the functional form of this class of models. We show that...
