“…Therefore, the AIDS model has been chosen in the present study because of its theoretical and practical considerations, and popularity in demand analysis (Blanciforti and Green 1983;Fujii et al 1985;Fulponi 1989;Heien and Wessells 1990;Fan et al 1995;Huang 1999;Wu 1999;Ma et al 2004;Jabarin 2005;Gould and Villarreal 2006). In addition, the estimated coefficients in a linear approximate almost ideal demand system (LA-AIDS) are easy to interpret (Fulponi 1989;Jabarin 2005).…”

“…In addition, most previous studies using micro-level survey data did not consider zero expenditure on some items (Fan et al 1995;Cai et al 1998;Ma et al 2004;Wang et al 2004Wang et al , 2005, which has been found to lead to bias in estimation (Haines et al 1988;Heien and Wessells 1990;Perali Figure 1 Meat consumption per capita in rural and urban China (1980 and2005). Note: meat consumption refers to the consumption of pork, poultry, beef and mutton.…”

“…Although numerous papers on Chinese household consumption issues have been published since the 1980s (Lardy 1984;Lewis and Andrews 1989;Garnaut and Ma 1993;Fan et al 1995;Shi et al 1995;Gao et al 1996a,b;Wu 1999;Gould 2002;Zhou and Tian 2005), these studies have either tended to focus on the broader segment of household food consumption or used outdated or unreliable data and have not explained the recent meat-consumption issues convincingly. In addition, most previous studies using micro-level survey data did not consider zero expenditure on some items (Fan et al 1995;Cai et al 1998;Ma et al 2004;Wang et al 2004Wang et al , 2005, which has been found to lead to bias in estimation (Haines et al 1988;Heien and Wessells 1990;Perali Figure 1 Meat consumption per capita in rural and urban China (1980 and2005).…”

The remarkable economic changes occurring within China since 1978 have resulted in a striking alteration in food consumption patterns, and one marked change is the increasing consumption of meat. Given China's large population, a small percentage change in per capita meat consumption could lead to a dramatic impact on the production and trade of agricultural products. Such changes have major implications for policy makers and food marketers. This paper concentrates on meat consumption patterns in the home in China. A censored linear approximate almost ideal demand system model was employed in the study, and major economic parameters were estimated for different meat items. Data used in this study were collected from two separate consumer surveys -one urban and one rural in 2005.

“…Even if FAFH expenditure is well-recorded in household surveys, these surveys may not collect data on the quantities of foods consumed away from home, as is the case for the Chinese Rural Household Survey. Due to a lack of price and quantity information, FAFH is often neglected in food demand analyses, such as Fan, Wailes, and Cramer (1995) and Gao, Wailes and Cramer (1996). Thus, both surveys show a similar increasing trend of FAFH in rural China.…”

This study provides an alternative explanation for the unusual apparent decline in food consumption in rural China after 2000. We find that it is mainly attributable to significant measurement errors in the Chinese Rural Household Survey and the calculation of per capita food consumption. In a household survey, total consumption for a household in a certain period is often well recorded, and per capita consumption is obtained by dividing total consumption by household size. Such a calculation of per capita food consumption is vulnerable to a mismatch between food and mouths. Total consumption may be subject to measurement errors caused primarily by food away from home (FAFH). Also, the household size recorded in the survey is not necessarily the same as the number of mouths (consumption household size), who consume the food recorded in the survey. Our results indicate that food consumption in rural China is currently being underestimated by about 30%. Our results also indicate that income elasticities of food consumption are greater than measured elasticities based on the Rural Household Survey data. Terms of use: Documents in

“…First, we have upgraded the income elasticities of demand for farm and food 1 These are obtained from international cross-sectional studies conducted by Theil, Chung, and Seale (1989). In the case of China, we obtain the income elasticities of demand from Zhi and Kinsey (1994) and Fan, Wailes, and Cramer (1995). A complete listing of the values used in the present study is provided in Anderson, Dimaranan, Hertel and Martin (1996a, Appendix, products (see footnote 2).…”

Rapid industrialization in East Asia, particularly China, is raising questions about who will feed the region in the next century and how Asia will be able to pay for its food imports. The paper ®rst reviews existing food sector projections and then takes an economy-wide perspective using projections to 2005, based on the global CGE model known as GTAP. After showing the impact of implementing the Uruguay Round, the paper explores several alternative scenarios. A slowdown in farm productivity growth is shown to be costly to the world economy, as is slower economic growth in China. Failure to honour Uruguay Round obligations to open textile and clothing markets in OECD countries would reduce East Asia's industrialization and thereby slow its net imports of food. On the other hand, the trade reform that is likely to accompany China's (and hence Taiwan's) membership of the World Trade Organization (WTO) adds 30 per cent to estimated global gains from the Uruguay Round. Their WTO accession is projected to boost exports of manufactures and strengthen food import demand by not only China but also its densely populated neighbours with whom it trades intensively.The 1995±96 season saw a dramatic rise in international grain prices and a drop in per capita world grain stocks to near-record low levels. That, together with concerns about the erosion of agriculture's resource base, and in particular the projections by the Worldwatch Institute suggesting massive grain imports by China in the twenty-®rst century, have called into question the long-term prospects for the world food situation. By contrast, a soon-to-be-published study by Mitchell, Ingco and Duncan suggests grain will be abundantly available for the foreseeable future so
