湖北农村居民消费的内外部习惯形成——基于消费结构数据的实证分析

Internal and External Habit Formation of Consumption of Rural Resident in Hubei Province:An Empirical Study Based on Consumption Structure

采用消费结构数据和广义矩方法分析了湖北省农村居民消费的内外部习惯形成,结果表明:湖北省农村居民在食品、家庭设备用品及服务与住房支出上有负的内部习惯形成,在文教娱乐支出上有正的内部习惯形成,其他方面的则不显著;城镇居民在交通通讯和医疗保健支出上的示范效应为正,而在住房和衣着支出上为负,其他方面不显著。农村居民消费开始呈现理性特征,但还不成熟。
