Abstract

This study examines the effects of the distribution of households across income groups on the Rotterdam demand model’s income and price responses. The model’s marginal propensities to consume and Slutsky coefficients are specified as varying parameters dependent on the portions of households falling in different income categories. This specification was used to analyze the demand for different orange-juice products across 52 US cities. The results indicate that for these products the distribution of households across income groups is an important determinant of the model coefficients.
