when I use the IES cross-sectional dataset ,there are 10 broad categories household expenditure include in the dataset(1.agriculture 2.ores_minerals 3.food_products 4.transportable_goods 5.metal_products 6.construction 7 distribution_services 8.financial_services 9.business_production 10.community) ,and the total expenditure is also given. But i just want to put 3 broad categories in the demand system. Let's say i want use 1. agriculture 2.food_products 3. transportable_goods. Then when i calculate the expenditure share . should i add the these three expenditure together as the total expenditure. so the w1=agriculture_expenditure/(agriculture+food+transportable-good expenditure) w2 ....w3....
is it right ?
