Author notes This is the fourth of a series sponsored jointly by the Social Science Research Council and the Royal Economic Society. The authors are indebted to many colleagues for help and discussion but in particular wish to record their gratitude to Richard Stone and to the editors of this Journal. The greater part of Sections III and V was written by Brown while Section IV was written by Deaton; otherwise the authors accept joint responsibility. Our coverage is of the applications of models of consumer behaviour; attention is paid to the theory of consumer demand only in so far as it is relevant to applied work. We thus do not cover the welfare aspects of consumer theory and this is taken to include the problems of index numbers of the cost of living. Readers interested in the latter may refer to items [77], [201] and [81] in the bibliography; modern developments in the pure theory of consumer preference are well covered in the symposium [37]. For different reasons, mainly those relating to space, we are not concerned with the consumption function itself but only with the allocation of total expenditure over different goods.
