The paper is about effects of household composition on household demand. Demand functions where prices are multiplied by consumer unit numbers (Barten-functions) are discussed theoretically and empirically.

      ab: The paper is about effects of household composition on household demand. Demand functions where prices are multiplied by consumer unit numbers (Barten-functions) are discussed theoretically and empirically. The theoretical part shows bow Barten-functions may be derived from a simple model of distribution and decision-making within the household, incorporating the possibility of joint consumption. Regression analysis of two Norwegian surveys of consumer expenditure is used to illuminate the predictive power of Barten-functions. Equivalent adult scales are computed by a method of approximation using the budget percentage of foodstuffs.
