Abstract
The importance of quantitative analysis of household consumption in the development of econometrics no longer need to be stressed. This branch of economics, also known as demand analysis, is closely associated with the very origin of econometrics and has contributed to its expansion.
“Parfois les réponses que je trouve sont trop simples, et je doute de moi-même, car seul le compliqué impressionne, donne l’illusion du docte, du savant, c’est ainsi que dans le mystère de l’alchimie dont je ne peux vous dévoiler tous les secrets, les choses se passent”.
