''Some λ-Separable Frisch Demands with Utility Functions''
( 2016, Vol. 36 No.1 )
 
 
We complete the characterization of two Frisch demand systems first developed by Browning, Deaton and Irish (1985), and show that that these systems (i) do not restrict intertemporal substitution; but (ii) imply momentary utility functions which are additively separable in consumption. These utility functions turn out to take the well-known exponential and Stone-Geary forms.
 
 
Keywords: Frisch demands, Separability, Intertemporal elasticity of substitution
