Estimating Advertising Effects in Demand Systems: An Application to Dried Fruits
نویسنده
چکیده
Two different methods of incorporating advertising effects into Almost Ideal Demand Systems (AIDS) are presented. Both advertising schemes are designed to allow theoretical restrictions to hold globally rather than at particular sample points. The models are estimated for California figs, prunes, and raisins. Empirical results indicate that generic advertising effects for these three dried fruits are generally weak when compared to price and total expenditure effects. Estimated cross-commodity effects also are relatively small except for the negative effect of raisin advertising on the

Welfare Impacts of Soaring Food Prices on Iranian Urban Households: Evidence from survey data
Abstract: On December 2010, the government of Iran ended the decades-long subsidy program for bread and energy products and launched the Targeted Subsidy Reform program that considerably raised prices of food products. The objective of the study was to measure welfare impacts of food price changes on Iranian urban households between two survey data of 2009/10 and 2011/12 which were taken from I...
متن کاملFood Price Change and its Welfare Impact on Iranian Households
Iran has experienced high food prices in recent years. This paper examines the welfare impacts of rising major food groups' prices on Iranian urban households using Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System (QUAIDS) approach. The elasticity coefficients derived from QUAIDS are used to estimate Compensated Variations (CV).The study uses Iranian Household Expenditure and Income Survey (HEIS) raw data,...
متن کاملEstimating Asymmetric Advertising Response: An Application to U.S. Nonalcoholic Beverage Demand
We propose a regime-switching model that allows demand to respond asymmetrically to upward and downward advertising changes. With the introduction of a smooth transition function, the model features smooth rather than abrupt parameter changes between regimes. We apply the model to nonalcoholic beverage data in the United States for 1974 through 2005 to investigate asymmetric advertising respons...
متن کاملMeasuring the Impacts of Generic Fluid Milk and Cheese Advertising: A Time-Varying Parameter Application
Previous constant-parameter demand models have estimated generic advertising elasticities for cheese to be below that for fluid milk. We relax this assumption, allowing for generic advertising response to vary over time. Cheese advertising elasticities were found below fluid milk up until the mid-1990s; average elasticities since have been similar. A benefit-cost ratio of the farmer-funded gene...
متن کاملConsequences of omitting advertising in demand estimation: An application to theatrical movies
Given the difficulties of properly estimating demand in the presence of advertising, advertising has often been omitted. This paper uses a Monte Carlo experiment of price-and-ad-setters to show that the omission of advertising can cause substantial biases in estimation, even in markets with relatively low ad-sales ratios and when advertising appears to be statistically insignificant. I then val...
