Household food consumption in Turkey
利用2003年土耳其家庭支出调查数据,估计了考虑人口差异和零消费的完整需求系统,发现肉类产品支出弹性最高,油脂和非酒精饮料价格弹性最大。
This paper analyses Turkish household food consumption, using data from the 2003 Turkish Household Expenditure Survey. A complete demand system is estimated taking into account demographic differences and zero consumption. The highest expenditure elasticity is found for the meat and meat products group, suggesting that its demand will grow faster than the demand for other products as the economy develops and income increases. Demand is more price-responsive for fats and oils and non-alcoholic beverages than all other food products. Regional and seasonal differences and socio-demographic factors are as important as the conventional economic variables in explaining observed differences in the household's food consumption patterns in Turkey.
