“…Also rare are income elasticities, with Wilen's (1993, 1994) estimates for Japan being the only known estimates of recent vintage. Empirical estimates of demand elasticities for salmon are more abundant (Asche et al, 1998;Asche et al, 1999;DeVoretz and Salvanes, 1993;Herrmann et al, 1993;Bjørndal et al, 1992). However, these estimates lack the geographic coverage to be of much use here.…”

The effects of income growth and tariffs on salmon prices, production, and trade flows are analysed using total elasticities derived from an equilibrium displacement model of the world salmon market. Results suggest the total income elasticity in world trade for salmon is about one, which means imports worldwide will grow at about the same pace as world income. However, owing in part to policies that restrict supply response, not all exporters will share evenly in this growth, with UK producers benefiting the most and Norwegian producers the least. Within importing countries, imports are more responsive to income growth than is domestic production, which means protectionist pressures are apt to increase with affluence. US tariffs on imports from Norway and Chile are counterproductive in that they reduce world imports with little effect on the US price. Norway's feed quota reduces the efficacy of US tariffs, makes imports less responsive to income, and increases price volatility. Hence, quota elimination may yield producer benefits in excess of producer losses associated with a lower world price.

“…However, production costs have also declined, hence expansion has been possible because of substantial productivity growth (Asche, 1997a). Although this suggests that a large part of the growth in salmon aquaculture has been a move down along the demand schedule, there is also evidence that this has been amplified by market growth, partly due to generic advertising programmes (Bjørndal, Salvanes and Andreassen, 1992;Kinnucan and Myrland, 1998).…”

“…Kinnucan et al, 1997). This approach is commonly applied in empirical work on salmon demand (Bjørndal et al 1992;Asche 1996;Xie et al 2009;Xie and Myrland 2011). In this article, I adopt a parsimonious approach to measuring demand shifts; yearly changes in price and quantities are decomposed between regional supply and demand shifts, and the relative impact from each supply and demand shift on price is determined.…”

To understand price changes one must determine the relative impact of supply and demand shifts on price. Conditional on pre-determined supply and demand elasticities, we retrieve yearly shifts in regional supply and demand. The relative impact on price from each supply and demand shift is determined through an Equilibrium Displacement Model (EDM). This procedure is applied on a yearly basis for the world salmon market in the period from 2002 to 2011. The results indicate a large variation in demand and supply growth both over time and between regions. While average annual price impacts from supply or demand shifts from most regions were not statistically significant, price impacts from supply or demand shifts for specific periods are detected in all but one region. This indicates the use of smooth trend indicators is likely to be inappropriate for measuring supply and demand shifts and their impacts on price.The procedure presented in this paper can be a useful instrument for determining the relative impacts of supply and demand shifts on price in any market with unstable price behaviour.
