Example text

The income elasticities (Eiy) are all unitary. , the Cobb-Douglas utility function does not allow the existence of inferior goods, which is highly restrictive. 3. All the cross-price elasticities (Eij) are null, showing that all the goods are gross and independent from each other. In other words, the demand for each good is only affected by its own price. 4. Since all the goods are gross and independent from each other and, furthermore, they are all normal, it follows that, all the goods are net substitutes.

4 Train-McFadden Synthesis Model An attempt to synthesise the discrete-choice and time-allocation models is found in the paper by Train and McFadden (1978). These authors work with aggregate variables. , it is a scalar variable that synthesises all goods into monetary units. , time not devoted to work or travel to work, Cj represents the price of transport option i, tj is the travel time for option i, W is work time in hours, w, is the wage rate, T is total time available, M is the set of discrete alternatives ofa good not contained in G and, finally, E is non-salary income.

In integratability, after all, if a subject's demand functions are known, one may infer from such functions - provided that they have certain regular properties - the utility or preference structure that generated them. This equivalence was pointed out by Kihlstrom, Mas-Colell and Sonnenscheim (1976), who unified both approaches by placing the revealed preference axioms in relation to the axioms of the Slutsky matrix. : A Theory of the Allocation of Time. : A Theory of the Economics of Time. : Urban Travel Demand: a Behavioral Analysis.
