Trade performances, product quality perceptions and the estimation of trade price-elasticities

Crozet, Matthieu; Erkel-Rousse, Hélène - HAL - 2004

Traditional trade models ignoring the dimension of product quality generally lead to excessively low trade price elasticities. In this paper, we show that higher estimated trade price elasticities, more in conformity with theory, can be obtained by controlling product quality in trade equations....

A DOUBLE-HURDLE MODEL OF FOOD DEMAND WITH ENDOGENOUS UNIT VALUES

Dong, Diansheng; Gould, Brian W. - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 1999

This study develops a unique double-hurdle model of demand for composite food commodities which endogenizes unit values. The model structure allows us to account for the inability to observe such values for non-purchasing households and simultaneously adjusts for quality demand effects reflected...
