Abstract
Chinese consumer behavior is analyzed based on rural Guangdong household survey data. For most food items, own‐price elasticities estimated with an AIDS model are inelastic. Commodity substitution due to relative price changes is small, except in the case of grain. Commodities most responsive to expenditure changes are meats, poultry, fruits, sweets, and durable goods.Keywords
