    The theory and estimation of Engel curves: some estimates for meat in New Zealand

    Yandle, C. A.
    Abstract
    This paper is one of a series based on original research conducted by Christopher Yandle at Lincoln on the New Zealand Meat Market.

This paper deals at a more technical level with the analysis of this data in particular with the derivative of Engel Curves showing the relationship between consumers incomes and their purchases of meat. The subject is the estimation of Engel curves from survey data. A review is made of the appropriate economic theory, and the application of that theory to market generated data....
