Abstract

This article conducts a statistical analysis of the consumption structure of urban residents in country, based on the time-series data published by the National Bureau of Statistics. Utilizing the theory of multiple linear regression analysis, the paper performs statistical modeling and empirical research on the consumption expenditure data of urban residents in recent years. This study employs yearbook data to construct statistical models, conduct model testing, heteroscedasticity testing, autocorrelation testing, and multicollinearity diagnosis. The research reveals that China's consumption structure is transitioning from a survival-oriented consumption pattern to a development-oriented and enjoyment-oriented consumption pattern. The consumption structure has undergone significant changes with socio-economic development. The model constructed in this paper can effectively reflect the statistical relationships between variables that affect per capita consumption, providing a quantitative basis for China's economic development research and the formulation of macro strategies.
