title: [[A regional perspective in population study--based on national consumption expenditure surveys]].
abstract: The author examines "regional characteristics of population in [Japan] from the standpoint of consumption behavior and [assesses] the significance of 'regionality' in population study.  Data [are from] the National Consumption Expenditure Surveys conducted...every five years...from 1959-1984."
