Abstract
This paper tries to answer the following questions at a micro-economic level : do business cycle changes affect the composition of household consumption in addition to its level? And if this is true, how much depends on the level of the household’s economic well-being and/or on the household’s structure? . With this object in mind, individual household consumption data from Italian Consumer Expenditure Surveys have been analyzed with reference to the business cycle change which occurred between 1997 and 2004 using the Correspondence Analysis for Three-Ways Tables (Escofier and Drouet, 1983).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
