Abstract
This paper integrates the psychological framework of a preference hierarchy with the economic framework used to analyze the allocation of time and commodities. Residual income available to an activity is found to be the primary determinant of the level of an activity's time and commodity demands and the most important variable affecting marginal consumption of new commodities.Keywords
