Italian Consumption of Wild and Farmed Fish: Demand and Elasticity Estimation

In this paper, we present an analysis of farmed and wild fish in Italy using microdot. Instead of estimating a traditional parametric model such as AIDS, we employ Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) and evaluate elasticities using a method specific of the non-parametric framework. As input variables, we consider not only the traditional economic factors but also some socio-demographic ones.
