Demand for red meat, poultry, and fish in Morocco: an almost ideal demand system
使用近乎理想需求系统模型估计摩洛哥牛肉、羊肉、禽肉和鱼类的需求弹性,发现羊肉是奢侈品且需求比以往政策分析假设的更具弹性。
There is a paucity of data and basic research needed for policy analysis in Morocco. Subjective estimates for elasticities are currently used in making policy recommendations. An Almost Ideal Demand System model is used to estimate demand elasticities for beef, mutton, poultry, and fish in Morocco. Mutton is shown to be a luxury good reflecting Moroccans' preference for mutton. Demand is shown to be more elastic than has been assumed in some past policy analyses.
