✦ Synopsis

The relationship between photoemission spectra of high-T c cuprates and their thermodynamic and transport properties are discussed. The doping dependence of the expected quasi-particle density at the Fermi level ðE F Þ are compared with the electronic specific heat coefficient g and that of the spectral weight at E F with the in-plane and outof-plane superfluid density. We have estimated the electrical resistivity of underdoped cuprates from the momentum distribution curve (MDC) at E F in the nodal direction. The temperature dependence of the MDC width is also consistent with that of the electrical resistivity.
