需求系统的灵活估计：Copula 方法
- 研究问题
- 作者研究加拿大1997—2009年家庭交通支出系统中的汽油自身价格弹性，考察传统需求系统的复现情况及更灵活分布设定的作用。
- 方法与思路
- 作者用 R 复现近乎理想需求系统、二次形式及 Minflex Laurent 模型，并对每类家庭估计168种 Copula 设定，考察边际分布偏态。
- 材料陈述的贡献
- 摘要称，部分家庭类型的复现结果与原研究接近，但一孩家庭存在差异；允许本地交通支出份额的边际分布偏斜可明显改善 BIC。
- 阅读关注点
- 应核对家庭分组、正性与单调性及曲率约束的实施方式、Copula 设定筛选，以及汽油价格弹性对不同模型的敏感程度。
- 阅读边界
- 摘要未给出弹性数值、标准误或价格内生性的处理；BIC 改善支持相应模型的拟合比较，不能直接证明弹性估计更准确或样本外表现更好。
原文摘要
Summary In this paper we study the own‐price elasticity for gasoline in demand systems involving three expenditure categories in the transportation sector in Canada: gasoline, local transportation, and intercity transportation for Canadian households from 1997 to 2009. In particular, we conduct a replication of Chang and Serletis, (The demand for gasoline: Evidence from household survey data, Journal of Applied Econometrics , 2014, 29 , 291–343) hereafter CS, who—using TSP version 5.1—estimated Deaton and Muellbauer, 's Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) ( American Economic Review , 1980, 70 , 312–326), Banks et al., 's Quadratic AIDS ( Review of Economics and Statistics , 1997, 79 , 527–539), and Barnett, 's Minflex Laurent (ML) ( Journal of Business and Economic Statistics , 1983, 1 , 7–23) models to demand systems consisting of these three goods, analyzing and enforcing theoretical economic regularity—that is, the compliance of estimates with positivity, monotonicity, and curvature. Using the R statistical language instead, we found that our estimates are similar to those of CS using data for single‐member households and married couples without children, but differ for households with one child. (All replicated estimation tables in CS, as well as our full implementation, are available as supplementary material in the online version of this paper.) However, using a more flexible copula model, a total of 168 possible specifications for each type of household and their resulting gasoline own‐price elasticities are also estimated. We find that allowing for skewness in the marginal distributions of local transportation budget shares greatly improves the Bayesian information criterion (BIC) of our models.
