Economic Analysis of Quarterly Household Expenditures on Apparel

Pamela S. Norum

Dept. of Textile and Apparel Management, University of Missouri-Columbia, Columbia, MD 65211

This study provides an updated view of factors affecting U.S. clothing demand. The effects of various socioeconomic and demographic variables on household expenditures for apparel were examined. A theoretical model explicitly acknowl edging the durable nature of clothing was presented. In addition, quarterly ex penditures over a one-year period were examined, accounting for variations due to seasonality. Data from the 1980-81 Consumer Expenditure Survey were used to estimate the expenditure functions. Income, the age and sex composition of the household, marital status, education, occupation, and sewing activity were found to significantly affect household apparel expenditures.
