Distribution of Household Income in America
Level of Income and its Distribution as Determinants of Korean Expenditure Patterns
Even though the permanent income and relative income hypotheses have been utilized in past research to explain consumer behavior, no previous attempt has been made to integrate them into one model in explaining household expenditure behavior. In this article, the hypotheses are synthesized into a single model. The model was empirically tested using data from the 1996 Korean National Survey of Family Income and Expenditures. The results indicate t…
Introduction to the Special Issue
Factors Associated with Different Degrees of Health Insurance Coverage
This study used data from the 1996 National Health Interview Survey to identify families that have full health insurance coverage, have partial coverage, and are uninsured. It examined the socioeconomic and demographic variables that influenced the probability of being in a particular group. The results indicate that the probability of full insurance coverage was positively related to the level of education and age of the reference person, as wel…
Lottery Expenditures in Canada
This article has two purposes: First, to examine the effect of household characteristics on lottery expenditures in six regions of Canada using a double hurdle model to distinguish between the decision to play and the decision of how much to spend. Second, to estimate the incidence of lottery expenditures. Using the 1996 Canadian Family Expenditure Survey, the results portray the profile of households that have the probability of becoming partici…
Consumer Sciences Research
A comparison and assessment of research published in the 1980s and 1990s in the areas of consumer economics, consumption economics, family economics, household management, and family financial planning and counseling was performed. Four journals were selected for this study: Family and Consumer Sciences Research Journal, The Journal of Consumer Affairs, Journal of Consumer Studies and Home Economics, and Journal of Family and Economic Issues. The…
The Evolution of Research in Consumer Science
This article traces the evolution of research in consumer science and highlights historical, social, institutional, and economic events that shaped the field. It gives an overview of research conducted from the late 1790s to the 1990s in the areas of family economics, consumer economics, consumption economics, and home management and chronicles legislative and administrative developments that affected consumer science research. Research topics, t…
Economic and Demographic Determinants of Canadian Households' Use of and Spending on Alcohol
This article examines the determinants of Canadian household expenditures on alcoholic beverages using double‐hurdle models to distinguish between the decision to consume and the decision of how much to consume. Linearity of the alcohol expenditurefunction and thus the applicability of a normality assumption to its errors is examined using Box‐Cox and inverse hyperbolic sine (IHS) transformations. As important policy decisions affecting alcohol u…
The Relative Size of Windfall Income and the Permanent Income Hypothesis
A reconciliation is offered for the diverse test results on Friedman's permanent income hypothesis. A large data sample of those receiving windfall income in the Bureau of Labor Statistics' 1972–1973 Consumer Expenditure Survey is divided according to the size of the windfall relative to estimated permanent income. A pattern of a declining marginal propensity to consume windfall income as the relative size of the windfall increases is apparent. T…
