Abstract

This paper considers the derivation of new demand systems from existing ones through replacing an indirect utility function by , where p is a vector of prices and y is income. This is a generalisation of Gorman translation and will be shown to be effective in terms of producing new demand systems with both good regularity and flexibility properties.

Keywords:Translation, indirect utility functions, demand equations.
