Rodney Holcomb, John Park and Oral Capps

Journal of Food Distribution Research, 1995, vol. 26, issue 2, 8

Abstract: Expenditure patterns were examined for food partitioned into food at home and away from home to test the veracity of Engel's law. The analysis employed several functional forms and a Heckman two-step methodology to account for censored-response bias. Engel's law was verified in every case.
