“…Sixthly, it aggregate perfectly across consumers without invoking parallel linear Engel curve, and finally, it has a functional form which is consistent with known household budget data. Halbrendt et al (1994) and Fan et al (1995) applied the AIDS model to analyze the household pattern in china. The two studies found that the lowest expenditure elasticities are found in grain.…”

The study examined the socio-economic characteristics of food consuming households, estimated the complete demand functions for some selected common food commodities, their prices and expenditure elasticities in Akoko South West (ASW) local government in Ondo state, Nigeria. The study examined demand analysis for food in ASW, using primary data with the use of questionnaire on some selected food-consuming households within the study area. Data collected were subjected to descriptive statistics for estimating demographic variables. The result of the descriptive statistics showed that semolina constituted the largest share of the household total food expenditure, among the low income and rural households but mostly among the married and the medium-size male-headed households who had tertiary-education. The Almost Ideal Demand System results showed that besides being a normal good, price inelastic, and expenditure inelastic, semolina has changed from being a luxury to being a necessity and has become a major food staple in the ASW metropolis. In conclusion, the study discovered that the prices of rice, beans, yam, garri, wheat, yam flour, and semolina were significantly important in the share of household total food budget at constant real income. Finally, the study showed from the result that the importance of semolina in ASW metropolis diet will increase as economic growth continues. This study therefore recommends that effort should be made to boost economic activities of ASW zone. This will increase their income and consequently improve their spending on the nutritious food items.

“…Regional data sets from China's 1990 Rural Household Survey have been used in three recent studies (Halbrendt et al 1993;Gao et al 1993;Tan et al 1994). Halbrendt et al (1993) have estimated an AIDS of nine expenditure groups (durables, clothing and seven food commodities) using a data set of rural households from Guangdong province.…”

“…As a result of these limitations, previous studies have yielded significantly different estimation results and interpretations. For example, studies using the fairly recent data have concluded that rice is still a normal good in China (e.g., Halbrendt et al 1993), whereas some studies using time-series data have reported that rice is already an inferior good in China (e.g., Ito et al 1989;Peterson et al 1991).…”

With China admitted to the World Trade Organization there is the potential for dramatic increases in U+S+ agricultural exports+ The present analysis uses household-level data to identify important determinants of expenditures on food for at-home consumption by households in three Chinese urban provinces+ Besides the role of household income, we examine the impact of household member age0gender composition on expenditures via the estimation of endogenously determined adult equivalents+ Results from the analysis show that overall food at-home expenditures are income inelastic, some commodities exhibit elastic responses to changes in their own price and household composition has a significant impact on food choice+ @JEL category: D120#+
