Expenditure Cascades

Evaluative judgments are known to depend heavily on context. For example, the same car that would have been experienced as having brisk acceleration in 1950 would seem sluggish to most drivers today. Similarly, a house of given size is more likely to be viewed as adequate the larger it is relative to other houses in the same local environment. And an effective interview suit is one that compare...

Expenditure Competition

quivalent - expenditure functions and expenditure - dependent equivalence scales

This paper presents and investigates a new class of equivalent-expenditure functions that is a generalization of the one that corresponds to exact (independent-of-base) equivalence scales. It provides less restrictive household demands, especially for children’s goods, and has associated equivalence scales that may depend on expenditure. We show that, under certain conditions, equivalent-expend...

Energy expenditure in caving

The aim of this study was to determine the energy expenditure of a group of cavers of both genders and different ages and experience during a 10 hour subterranean exploration, using portable metabolimeters. The impact of caving activity on body composition and hydration were also assessed through bioelectrical impedance, and nutritional habits of cavers surveyed. During cave activity, measured ...

Aggregate Demand and Expenditure

Consumption Expenditure Of the four components of aggregate demand, consumption expenditure C is the largest contributing to between 60% and 70% of total expenditure. For this reason, we often start our analysis with this particular component. This category of expenditure includes private spending on durable goods (automobiles, electronic goods, appliances, ... ), non-durable goods (food, cloth...
