摘要:

AbstractSelected static and dynamic demand systems are applied to Canadian data for the period 1947–1972. Four commodity groups—durables, semi‐durables, services and nondurables—are used for the major portion of the analysis. For the static systems, results for nine commodity groups are provided as a comparison. Income and price elasticity estimates, following from the static systems are, with the exception of the double log, proved reasonably similar. The estimates from the two dynamic systems, the dynamic linear expenditure and state adjustment models, appeared more plausible particularly for services and durable goods, where persistence in consumption patterns is generally observed. As related to other estimates from United States and Canadian data, these results seem to be more stable and more in agreement with a priori reasoning.

摘要:

AbstractParticipants in the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Distribution Program received more food than they would have purchased with food stamps in the market. These participants had slightly higher achievement ratios for some specific nutrients, such as protein, iron, and thiamine, than did nonparticipants. Food stamp recipients also had somewhat similar gains in nutrients, while spending a lower percentage of money income on food than nonparticipants.

摘要:

AbstractThe manner in which producers form price expectations is often a destabilizing influence on observed prices. Recent price trends are extrapolated, leading to delayed or accelerated marketings which reinforce the existing price trend. An analysis of monthly steer and heifer slaughter yields this conclusion. The theoretical framework links capital theory with the hypothesis concerning extrapolation of price trends. Apparent conflicts in previous studies of the short‐term response of slaughter to prices are clarified and partially resolved by the theoretical and empirical results.
