A complete system of demand equations is estimated to obtain expenditure and price elasticities of the demand for travel. The results allow the classification of regions of Western Europe as substitutes or complements according to the preferences of travelers. It is found that Americans view Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Spain, and Portugal as "luxury destinations" that might expect to receive an increasing share of the traveler's budget. The price elasticities are relatively low for France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg. France and the U.K. exhibited high price substitution effects as did France and Germany. Travel to most other countries might be classified as complementary with respect to travel to France and substitutes with respect to the U.K. Keywords: travel demand, econometric model, Western Europe. Kenneth White is Associate Professor of Economics at the University of British Columbia (Vancouver, Canada V6T 1Y2}. His interests include econometric modeling and measurement problems.

This study approaches the question by broadly analyzing the distribution of audiences among programs and stations. Examination of national television ratings reveals that the share of the market captured by a given program varies widely across the

When examining past empirical work in this area, one finds the use of rather crude statistical tests for the presence of the liquidity trap and no consensus about the appropriate functional form of the demand equation. Bronfenbrenner and Mayer [2] followed the idle balance approach devised by Tobin [12] in 1947; however, the results obtained by this method were inconclusive. Brunner and Meltzer [3] concentrated on the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of the liquidity trap using the interest elasticity of the demand for money function. Unfortunately, they failed to develop the methodology needed for the estimation of the trap. A few recent studies have introduced the level of the liquidity trap explicitly so that the demand for money is a function of the difference between the observed interest rate and the minimum (liquidity trap) interest rate. This approach, applied by Klein and Goldberger [7] in their econometric model, has been extended by Pifer [11] and Konstas and Khouj [8]. One characteristic common to these studied is that the liquidity trap is assumed to be "asymptotic ;" the interest rate never actually reaches the "floor." In contrast, some define the liquidity trap as being "absolute" so that the demand curve becomes perfectly horizontal when the interest rate has reached its critical level. The controversy over the existence of the liquidity trap is partially due to the failure to distinguish between these two definitions. This paper is concerned only with the asymptotic liquidity trap and modifies the approach used in past studies, notably that of Pifer, to allow a less restrictive functional form.

Nussbaum1 explored several aspects of the federal income tax structure resulting in a "tax cost of marriage" for those families where both spouses work.2 This "marriage penalty" is defined to be the increment in tax liability resulting solely from the act of marriage. An unmarried couple living together will find that their total tax bill will increase by the amount of the penalty if they were to wed. This tax differential, which may be negative, results from the income splitting provisions of the tax laws, the relatively favorable tax rates for single individuals, and the specification of the standard deduction.

This paper illustrates that it is possible to obtain virtually any value of the Wald statistic at different significance levels. It is also shown that in small samples the use of the x2 or F approximation for the distribution of the Wald statistic can be misleading for some forms of the non-linear Wald test.
