Reasons for why slutsky matrix may be non symmetric
In demand system estimation, theoretically we require this matrix to be symmetric. This unfortunately is not the case most of the time.
What are some reasons for why symmetry of the slutsky matrix may ...

Interpretation of more than one cross price elasticity of demand
I am writing an empirical paper and use cross sectional data to estimate elasticities using an "almost ideal demand system" by Deaton and Muellbauer (1980) using Stata.
My question concerns ...

Checking negativity condition in demand system model
Let's assume you want to estimate a demand system model, e.g. the AIDS, based on observational data. Then you usually test first whether the homogeneity and symmetry condition hold in order to check ...

Data-driven vs. theory-driven demand system estimation
Context:
When one wants to study consumer demand based on observational data (e.g. household survey data), imposing theoretical restrictions on the coefficients of the demand model seems to be a good ...

Relative prices in demand system estimation
Context/ Setup:
Microeconometrics offers many tools to study features of the demand for different goods/ groups of goods, such as the well known Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDs). The AIDs model ...

Is it possible to get a demand function as function of income and utility from this log linear indirect utility?
I have this indirect utility function:
$$v=-c\frac{p^{(-β+1)}}{(-\beta+1)}+\frac{y^{(-\gamma+1)}}{(-\gamma+1)}$$
with constraint Y = c + pq
I have posted before about getting the utility function from ...
