This text provides an overview of concepts, theories, and
methods related to the study of household consumption. It
summarizes the most recent data on consumption patterns and trends,
together with factors that influence consumption--population
trends, prices, and distribution of resources--and examines how
consumption data are used by business, government, and other
organizations.
The work will give the student a knowledge of household
consumption patterns and an understanding of how to use such
knowledge. Its three general purposes, which correspond to the
three parts of the book, are: to provide the tools students need in
order to use information about household consumption, including
major concepts and theories used in the study of consumption,
empirical methodologies, and sources of data; to describe current
patterns, trends, and problems in household consumption in the
United States and other countries; and to show how information
about household consumption is used. This text is designed for
upper-division courses in consumption economics, consumer science,
and family resource management.
