Abstract
A variation of the Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) model of Deaton and Muellbauer (1980) has been employed
to determine the impacts of per capita total expenditure, food prices and demographic variables on household
demand for dairy products in Bangladesh. The budget shares are generally more responsive to per capita total
expenditure than to prices. With respect to demographic effects, it is found that family size and occupation of the
household head have a statistically significant impact on household demand behavior.
