The economics and empirics of the allocation of Public Consumption expenditures
2006Co-Authors: George TridimasAbstract:The paper investigates the allocation of Public Consumption expenditures in the UK. After reviewing the empirical literature on the demand for Public services, which is based on applied consumer analysis, it discusses the budgetary making process in the UK. It proceeds by estimating a system of demand equations for general government Consumption expenditures in the UK during the period 1963-96. In addition to estimating the effects of relative prices, total expenditure and demographic variables, it finds that the constraints of homogeneity and symmetry cannot be rejected.

the dependence of private consumer demand on Public Consumption expenditures theory and evidence
Public Finance Review, 2002Co-Authors: George TridimasAbstract:Two different approaches are used to study how the structure of Public Consumption affects the allocation of consumer expenditure. The first assumes that Public expenditures condition consumer preferences and introduces them as additional explanatory variables to the Linear Expenditure System by means of linear translating. Assuming that consumers are constrained in consuming Publicly provided goods, the second uses the Almost Ideal Demand System to model preferences as nonseparable between privately and Publicly provided goods. The resulting demand functions depend on total private expenditure, relative prices, and the quantities of Public provision. Testing the predictions with U.K. data establishes the importance of Public Consumption expenditures in determining private consumer demand.

A Demand-Theoretic Analysis of Public Consumption Priorities in the United Kingdom
Public Finance Review, 1999Co-Authors: George TridimasAbstract:In the tradition of empirical studies of demand for Public expenditure, this article examines the allocation of Public Consumption expenditures in the United Kingdom from 1963 to 1996. In addition to obtaining estimates of the effects of relative prices, total expenditure, and demographic variables, the results reveal that the constraints of homogeneity and symmetry cannot be rejected. However, the results reject the assumption of exogeneity of total expenditure employed by previous authors, so that it is important to augment the standard empirical specification by an auxiliary equation describing the evolution of the total expenditure conditioning variable. Finally, there is also evidence that some of the relationships studied have not been stable during the sample period.

Total expenditure endogeneity in a system of demand for Public Consumption expenditures in the UK
Economic Modelling, 1999Co-Authors: Jean-yves Pitarakis, George TridimasAbstract:Contrary to standard empirical studies of demand for Public Consumption expenditure a system of demand equations is examined where the total expenditure variable is considered endogenous in the sense that it is correlated with the equation errors. Using a recently available UK dataset we explore alternative specifications of an auxiliary equation for total expenditure, which depend on prices and other instrumental variables, and apply a Hausman-type and a likelihood ratio test of exogeneity. The results reject exogeneity and suggest that when endogeneity of total expenditure is taken into account the constraints of homogeneity and symmetry cannot be rejected.

The allocation of Public Consumption expenditure in the UK
Applied Economics Letters, 1998Co-Authors: Jean-yves Pitarakis, George TridimasAbstract:Using the Almost Ideal Demand System specification we analyse whether UK Public Consumption expenditure decisions are compatible with traditional utility maximization postulates. Our empirical findings tend to support the validity of the constraints of homogeneity and symmetry.

Constructing “Remorse”: the preparation of social discourses for Public Consumption
Text & Talk, 2013Co-Authors: Jill HallettAbstract:AbstractThis paper provides an analysis of heteroglossic mass-mediated discourse for a National Public Radio (NPR) segment. Two Chicago teenagers covered the story of five-year-old Eric Morse, who was pushed to his death from a fourteenth-story housing project window. On a micro-discursive level, each voice represented in this segment is an amalgamated blend of lived experiences with respect to this tragedy and the events surrounding it, as well as participation in speech chains of mass-communicative, historical, and segmental natures. While presented as a documentary examining a major news event in depth through “authentic” correspondents, this segment is edited and packaged to appeal to a certain demographic makeup. Macrosociological constructs of race, class, and social position are reflected in these highly localized discourses as these experiences are edited and “packaged” for a specific listening audience.

Optimal taxation in a growth model with Public Consumption and home production
Journal of Public Economics, 2008Co-Authors: Jie Zhang, James B. Davies, Jinli Zeng, Stuart D. McdonaldAbstract:In a neoclassical growth model with Public Consumption, we show the following Pareto optimal tax rules. The government should tax leisure and private Consumption at the same rate, and subsidize net investment at the same rate it taxes net capital income. Also, it should tax capital income more heavily than labor income. In an extension for home production, the additional rule is to tax investment for home production at the same rate of the tax on private market Consumption. These tax and subsidy rates should be constant over time except the initial tax rate on capital income.
