This study analyzes the food commodities consumption patterns of Taiwan. It reviews the theory of consumer demand and its relationship to empirical research and includes three parts of empirical analysis--general consumption patterns, the Engel curves of food commodities, and the construction of a demand matrix. To investigate the general consumption patterns of Taiwan, four static and two dynamic demand systems are estimated using the time-series data for the period of 1951-76. The static demand systems applied are the linear expenditure, indirect addilog, Rotterdam and the double-logarithmic. The dynamic demand systems include a dynamic linear expenditure and a state adjustment model. The estimates of the structural parameters and the demand elasticities are, in general, consistent with the consumer theory. The static systems appear superior to the dynamic systems for the data of Taiwan. Engel curves for eleven food commodities are estimated using the cross-section data of 1976. The cross-section analysis focuses on (1) comparison of different functional forms, (2) effect of household size on food consumption, (3) variation in food consumption patterns between high- and low-income, urban and rural, and farm and nonfarm households, and (4) the problem of heteroskedasticity of error terms. Based on the two-stage utility maximization approach, the estimates of the two-stage demand parameters for individual food commodities are obtained by using both cross-sectional and time-series data. A demand matrix is developed by imposing the restrictions of homogeneity, symmetry, Cournot and Engel aggregations and Frisch equation on the estimated two-stage demand parameters, and assuming that food commodities are want independent of nonfood commodities.
