Household meat demand in Greece: A demand systems approach using microdata

Abstract

This article examines meat consumption patterns of households in Greece using data from family budget surveys. For that purpose the linear approximate Almost Ideal Demond System was employed to investigate the economics and demographic effects on the demand for four types of meat. Prices were adjusted for quality, and the demographic translation method was used to incorporate the demographic variables. Finally, the two-stage generalized Heckman procedure was employed to take into account censoring of the dependent variables. [EconLit citations: Q11, D12.] © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Determinants of sheep and goat meat consumption in Switzerland

“…This is consistent with other research findings (Dhraief et al 2012;Gao and Spreen 1994;Lazaridis 2003). For the presence of children, the sign is negative; indicating that households with children consume a lower amount of sheep and goat meat f .…”

“…Even though the use of detailed micro-data (i.e., highly disaggregated data with respect to time, product groups and households) is superior to other approaches (e.g., Akbay et al 2007;Lazaridis 2003;Majumder et al 2012;Thiele 2008), we face two major methodological challenges when analyzing this household expenditure survey data for sheep and goat meat. First, many households do not purchase this kind of meat every month leading to a large share of zero observations.…”

“…The AIDS model using Stone's index is called the linear approximate AIDS (LA/AIDS) model (Blanciforti and Green, 1983). The LA/AIDS model is theoretically and practically reasonable, and easily interpretable (Alston and Chalfant, 1993;Lazaridis, 2003).…”
