Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate dynamic food demand in urban China, with use of a complete dynamic demand system DLES-LA/DAIDS, which pushes forward the techniques of demand analysis. Design/methodology/approach – We employ a transitionary demand process and develop a new approach of complete demand system with a two-stage dynamic budgeting: an additively separable dynamic...

Abstract Export promotion at the extensive margin is a key concern of governments. We develop measures how far firms in origin sectors are from break-even entry destination markets. The measure based on Almost Ideal gravity featuring heterogeneous price and income elasticities. Tobit estimation 2006 trade flows for 75 countries 25 generates Latent Trade Bias (LTB) – latent (projected) share non...

In 2014, México imposed a 20% price hike on sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) to curb its obesity epidemic, paving the road for other Latin-American countries adopt similar measures. This paper estimates beverage demand system with censored Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand system. Our study finds that tax SSB can reduce consumption between 16.6% and 19.0%. Additionally, increase is associated increa...

In this study, we used a household level survey to assess choices of varieties and demand for improved cassava varieties. A multivariate probit model was examine the determinants choice decisions farmers different preventing potential endogeneity measurement error. Linearized Almost Ideal Demand System (LA/AIDS) analyze system The results indicated were very price sensitive changes in stem pric...

India has been running large-scale interventions in the energy sector over the last decades. Still, there is a dearth of reliable and readily available price and income elasticities of demand to base these on, especially for domestic use of traditional fuels. This study uses the linear approximate almost ideal demand system (LA-AIDS) using micro data of more than 100,000 households sampled acro...

This paper investigates the effect of price variations on the diet composition in Britain. It describes the dynamics of food demand in relation to food prices over time using data from the British National Food Survey (NFS) covering the period 1975-2000. Demand elasticities with respect to price elasticities are estimated by solving a quadratic almost ideal demand system (QUAIDS) model controll...
