Fulltext PDFThis paper studies the structure of consumption profiles for European countries. The analysis covers twenty European Union (EU) member states for the year 1961 and 28 EU countries for the year 2011. The paper uses data from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) for thirteen product groups. The analysis utilizes the Grade Correspondence and Cluster Analysis (GCCA) method. The study shows significant differentiations of consumption profiles among the European countries. However, the general profile of consumption can be described as stable.
