Abstract
A linear expenditure system over eighteen commodity groups is estimated for each of the rural and urban areas of the four provinces of Pakistan using the 1984-85 Household Income and Expenditure Survey. Various commodity groups are classified into neces-sities and luxuries for small, medium and large households separately for each of the eight regions of Pakistan. Using appropriate F-teals, we found considerable difference in household consumption patterns across rural and urban areas and across the four provinces of Pakistan. The assumption of provincial similarity in consumption patterns is rejected more forcefully than the assumption of rural urban similarity.
