Aggregate demand shifts, income distribution, and the Linder hypothesis
Article Abstract:
Intra-industry trade empirical literature has underscored the importance of non-homothetic preferences and earnings in determining combined demand and trade behavior. Mathematical models are used to establish the effect, instead, of income distribution on the relationship between non-homothetic preferences and trade patterns. Results indicate that income-driven demand shifts toward Linder goods suggest that per capita income levels and income distribution are both significant factors in accounting for expenditure behavior.

Periodic cointegration: representation and inference
Article Abstract:
A new method of analyzing stable relationships between nonstationary seasonal time series is presented. The approach is derived from a periodic error correction model which lets long-run effects and adjustment parameters change each season. The analysis is applied to an aggregate Swedish consumption model.
