Some $\lambda$-separable Frisch demands with utility functions

Author

  • Ligon, Ethan

Abstract

We complete the characterization of two Frisch demand systems first developed by Browning et al (1985), and show that that these systems (i) do not restrict intertemporal substitution; but (ii) imply momentary utility functions which are additively separable in consumption. These utility functions turn out to take the well-known exponential and Stone-Geary forms.
