Abstract

The use of household surveys for demand system estimation necessitates a recognition of purchase censoring that often arises within an analysis of a disaggregated set of commodities. We extend the Amemiya-Tobin demand system approach to an analysis of Mexican household food demand via the use of a LA/AIDS specification.
