Model choice and structural specification for Canadian meat consumption
研究了函数形式与结构变化设定对加拿大肉类需求参数估计的影响，通过非嵌套检验比较了线性近似几乎理想模型和鹿特丹模型，发现加入渐进转换结构变化后，几乎理想模型更优。
Choice of functional form and structural change specification may each influence demand parameter estimates. Joint non-nested testing of both is applied for the linearised almost ideal and Rotterdam models with and without structural change, incorporated using a gradual transition specification. The test of model choice without structural change is inconclusive; the test of models with structural change shows that, for Canadian meat consumption, the gradual-transition almost ideal model is preferred over the gradual-transition Rotterdam model. The effect of functional form on demand elasticities for meats is relatively minor, but the structural change provision substantially affects these estimates.
