Abstract
In this paper [the authors discuss] five procedures for incorporating demographic variables into theoretically plausible demand systems: translating scaling and the Gorman reverse Gorman and implicit Prais-Houthakker procedures.... These five procedures are used to incorporate a single demographic variable--the number of children in a household--into the generalized CES demand system using household budget data for the United Kingdom for the period 1966-1972 (EXCERPT)
