Abstract
In this paper we provide suffic ient condi tions, which, when combined with recent developments in the theory of exact aggregation, permit estimation of group specific demand systems when micro-level information is unavailable. We illustrate the approach by estimating group specific cost of living indices using only readily available census information and aggregate expenditure data.
