UTILITY MAXIMIZATION, DEMAND SYSTEMS, AND FUNCTIONAL FORM IN TRANSPORT DEMAND ANALYSIS

The basic theory of utility maximization and its use in the generation of demand systems which significantly reduce the parameter space within which the researcher must work is examined. For a specific utility representation it is shown how a particularly popular demand system known as the linear expenditure system (LES) is derived and a generalization known as the S-branch system is examined.
