Price, unit value, and quality demanded
TLDR
In this paper, the authors draw on survey data that contain both unit value and price to estimate the severity of quality substitution in Indonesia, and then calculate price elasticities that correct for quality substitution, evaluating and ultimately rejecting a commonly used method for calculating price elasticity using only unit value data.About:

The price effects of cash versus in-kind transfers
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the effect of cash versus in-kind transfers on local prices and found that prices are significantly lower under inkind transfers compared to cash transfers; relative to the control group, in kind transfers caused a 4% fall in prices while cash transfers cause a positive but negligible increase in prices.

The Price Effects of Cash Versus In-Kind Transfers
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare how cash and in-kind transfers affect local prices, and show that inkind transfers should lead to lower prices than cash transfers, which helps consumers at the expense of local producers.

International Income Inequality: Measuring PPP Bias by Estimating Engel Curves for Food
TL;DR: In this article, the authors study the relationship between the bias and the income of a country, and provide new estimates of (real) income and refer to these as the Engel Curve (EC) incomes.

Welfare consequences of food prices increases: Evidence from rural Mexico
TL;DR: In this paper, the welfare consequences of recent increases in food prices in Mexico using micro-level data are analyzed using a QUAIDS model of demand for food, using data collected to evaluate the conditional cash transfer program Oportunidades.

Rising Food Prices and Household Welfare: Evidence from Brazil in 2008
TL;DR: The authors used spatially disaggregated monthly data on consumer prices and two different household surveys to estimate the welfare consequences of these food price increases, and their distribution across households, showing that the overall impact of higher food prices in Brazil was U-shaped, with middle-income groups suffering larger proportional losses than the very poor.

An Almost Ideal Demand System
TL;DR: The Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) as mentioned in this paper is a first-order approximation of the Rotterdam and translog models, which has been used to test the homogeneity and symmetry restrictions of demand analysis.

Quadratic Engel Curves and Consumer Demand
TL;DR: In this paper, a model of consumer demand that is consistent with the observed expenditure patterns of individual consumers in a long time series of expenditure surveys and is also able to provide a detailed welfare analysis of shifts in relative prices is presented.

Quality, quantity, and spatial variation of price
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed and implemented a method for estimating price elasticities of demand using cross-sectional household survey data, which can be matched to variation in demand patterns.
