Rural Chinese Food Consumption: The Case of Guangdong
基于广东农村家庭调查数据,用AIDS模型分析食品消费,发现多数食品自身价格弹性缺乏弹性,除粮食外商品替代性小,肉类、禽类、水果、糖果和耐用品对支出变化最敏感。
Abstract Chinese consumer behavior is analyzed based on rural Guangdong household survey data. For most food items, own‐price elasticities estimated with an AIDS model are inelastic. Commodity substitution due to relative price changes is small, except in the case of grain. Commodities most responsive to expenditure changes are meats, poultry, fruits, sweets, and durable goods.
