Abstract | We have applied the Exact Affine Stone Index(EASI) implicit Marshallian demand system, invented by Lewbel and Pendakur (2009), and iterate three stage least squares to analyse Chinese household consumer demand in urban area. Our results show a demand system rank to equal five which supports the conclusion of Lewbel and Pendakur (2009), and the applicability of the model with or without interaction terms. Heterogeneity demographic characteristics and price affect Chinese household consumer demand system in urban area. From 1995 to 2007, ratios of food and transportation-communication in total expenditure decrease ,and other expenditure ratios increase. |
