The Logic of Testing Structural Change in Meat Demand: A Methodological Analysis and Appraisal
指出过去二十年检验肉类需求结构变化的研究存在根本性方法论问题,证明不存在有效的结构变化检验,并基于方法论文献提出未来研究方向。
Abstract In the past two decades, the profession has expended valuable resources testing structural change in meat demand with mixed results. Overlooked to date is a fundamental methodological problem that transcends all methods of testing for structural change. In this study, a methodological framework is used to show that there is no valid test of structural change. Because of this result, additional criteria from the methodology literature are used to evaluate the literature on structural change in meat demand and to provide suggestions for fertile areas of future research.
