Robust and reliable measures of consumer expenditures are essential for analyzing aggregate economic activity and for measuring differences in household circumstances. Many countries, including the United States, are embarking on ambitious projects to redesign surveys of consumer expenditures, with the goal of better capturing economic heterogeneity. This is an appropriate time to examine the way consumer expenditures are currently measured, and the challenges and opportunities that alternative approaches might present. Improving the Measurement of Consumer Expenditures begins with a comprehensive review of current methodologies for collecting consumer expenditure data. Subsequent chapters highlight the range of different objectives that expenditure surveys may satisfy, compare the data available from consumer expenditure surveys with that available from other sources, and describe how the United States’s current survey practices compare with those in other nations.

La 4e de couv.indique : "This is the seventh volume in the long-running Marketing Scales Handbook series. The purpose of the book is to help readers benefit from vetted research by some of the world's consumer behavior experts. By learning about the measures used by the experts, the hope is that those who borrow the well-developed scales rather than using "quick-and-dirty" measures will achieve higher quality insights in their research activities. The book contains reviews of 364 multi-item measures that were reported in one or more articles published in top marketing journals in 2010 and 2011. Each review provides the scale items (questions or statements) as well as information about the scale's origin, previous users, and measurement quality. The scales are useful when wanting to accurately measure theoretical constructs such as attitudes, emotions, and traits in surveys and experiments with a wide variety of participants such as consumers, viewers, patients, patrons, or citizens. Many of the measures could also be used in business settings when studying employees and/or administrators. The scales reviewed in this volume are primarily new and are not in the previous volumes of the series."
