In Ghana, bat bushmeat seems to have both subsistence and luxury functions; the large numbers of hunters who hunt for themselves or who keep some of their catch suggests that bats provide a readily available source of animal protein.
We also found good fits with the CPGLM and it was possible to provide highly significant predictions of biomass loss from subsistence wood harvesting as a function of increasing distance to nearest settlement.
They are very important for subsistence and social and religious functions.
Children's leisure is considered a luxury good, and only enters the parent's utility function once some minimum subsistence level has been achieved.
Koo et al. [4] and Shin et al. [5] considered an optimal consumption and portfolio selection problem of an agent who has a quadratic utility function and faces a subsistence consumption constraint.

The gendering of functional roles and the complexity of work activities in this subsistence farming community lend support to arguments for locally contextualized measures of functioning in people with SMD.
