Abstract: The objective of this article is to propose a Bayesian method for estimating a system of Engel functions using survey data that includes zero expenditures. We deal explicitly with the problem of zero expenditures in the model and estimate a system of Engel functions that satisfy the adding-up condition. Furthermore, using MCMC, we estimate unobservable parameters, including consumption of commodities, total consumption and equivalence scale, and use their posterior distributions to calculate inequality measures and total consumption elasticities.
