A Rational Rank Four Demand System
نویسنده
چکیده
Past parametric tests of demand system rank employed polynomial Engel curve systems. However, by Gorman’s (1981) theorem, the maximum possible rank of a utility derived polynomial demand system is three. The present paper proposes a class of demand systems that are utility derived, are close to polynomial, and have rank four. These systems nest rational polynomial demands, and so can be used to test ranks up to four. These systems are suitable for applications where high rank is likely, such as demand systems involving a large number of goods. A test of rank using this new class of systems is applied to UK consumer demand data.

The Effect of Three Human Identification Levels (Sensual, Rational, and Spiritual) on One`s Moral Development Based on the Three Levels of Nafs (Ammarah, Lawwamah, and Mutma’innah) in Mathnavi
Based on the evolutionary-analogical development of human identification, Molawi considers three identifying ranks for human. Accordingly, in the sensual rank, a person behaves based on the attraction of sensual stimuli and his external identifying environment and also he sees the reflection of collective identity as “ego” of himself. Versus his own absolute demand of rights from the environmen...

Because of electricity subsidies, electricity price in Iran is much lower than its real value, and the growth of electricity demand is much more than its rational rate, which in turn implies ever increasing investment in the electricity section by the Government. Therefore, the recent Government policies are based on elimination of electricity subsidies, followed by commissioning complete elect...
متن کاملStochastic Congestion Alleviation with a Trade-off between Demand Response Resources and Load Shedding
Under the smart grid environments, Demand Response Resources (DRRs) as power system resources can effectively participate in and improve performance of electric systems. Congestion management is one of the technical challenges in which DRRs can play a significant role. Previously, congestion management is applied without considering the power system uncertainties. Therefore, a stochastic conges...
متن کاملOn Rational Homotopy of Four-manifolds
We give explicit formulas for the ranks of the third and fourth homotopy groups of all oriented closed simply connected four-manifolds in terms of their second Betti numbers. We also show that the rational homotopy type of these manifolds is classified by their rank and signature.
متن کاملRank four vector bundles without theta divisor over a curve of genus two
We show that the locus of stable rank four vector bundles without theta divisor over a smooth projective curve of genus two is in canonical bijection with the set of theta-characteristics. We give several descriptions of these bundles and compute the degree of the rational theta map.
