Item Restricted Consumption patterns of urban households: a survey(1983-03) Barza, Erlyn F.; Ujano, Lourdes Socorro D.; Pernia, ErnestoItem Restricted Almost ideal demand system in the Philippines(2009-04) Buan, Mari-Kris Y.; Danganan, Kathleen Anne R.; Tan, EditaInformation about household consumption patterns is a key input in the formulation of economic policies. This thesis uses two models of the Almost Ideal Demand System to come up with demand estimates for seven commodity groups in the Philippines for the year 2006. Results are relatively comparable to Baliscan's 1992 study and yield plausible elasticity estimates. Findings show a significant variation in demand for the food groups between households with employed heads and those whose heads are unemployed.Item Restricted Effects of family size on household consumption patterns: a Philippine case study(2010-10) Gamos, Josephine Maravilla; Suguitan, Carlo Emmanuel Desierto; Tecson, GwendolynIn light of the ballooning population growth of our country, the researchers decided to conduct a study regarding the implications of family size on the household consumption patterns. Using data from the Family Income and Expenditure Survey: the researchers analyzed which of the consumption items are directly and significantly affected by an increase in the number of members in the household. Aside from family size, other factors such as the educational attainment and the age of the household head were also considered. To make the study even more accurate, separate regressions were done for every region in the Philippines. The researchers' findings aim not only to aid various institutions of society in determining the effect of the household size on the kind of lifestyle a family leads but also to help educate Filipinos in order for them to do their part in resolving the alarming population problem in the country.
