Abstract

The consumption behavior of Japanese agricultural households is analyzed by a linear approximate almost ideal demand system utilizing a time series of aggregate consumption data on 15 commodity groups. Appreciable differences are observed in consumption patterns between agricultural and non-agricultural households. Some of the results in terms of income and price elasticities and of demand shifts differ to some extent from that of non-agricultural households. The second-order condition of the equilibrium is fulfilled at the sample means in this study. All cross-price elasticities are smaller than unity in absolute value. Tastes are rather conservative in agricultural households.
