Non-homothetic Preferences and the Demand Channel of Inflation Staff working paper 2025-30 Stephen Murchison An alternative to the standard CES aggregator, based on non-homothetic household preferences, is proposed.

Empirical evidence favouring a direct role for per-capita consumption demand in inflation determination for Canada is presented.
