This article examines the extent of competition in the US salmon import market using a residual demand model. The estimated residual demand elasticity is coincident with the profit margin, which depends on market demand and competitors’ supply as well as production cost. The estimation results...

The seafood market has changed substantially in recent decades, becoming increasingly globalized. This has led to introduction of new species and new sources of fish in most markets. We estimate a seafood demand system that, unlike models in previous studies, accounts for potential structural...

In this article, a risk-augmented differential demand system is developed to test the effects of exchange rate volatility (ERV) on trade. Applying the model to data on US imports of salmon from Chile, Canada, Norway, the United Kingdom, and Rest of World (ROW), results indicate ERV reduces...

This paper examines the price transmission mechanisms between domestic ethanol and imported ethanol in the US market using a multivariate Johansen approach. The data and model support one cointegrating relationship between the prices of domestically produced ethanol, imported ethanol, and other...

In this study, we are concern with incorporating risk factors into the Almost Ideal Demand System model. In the modified model, the risk factors affect trade response to price changes (the indirect effect) and the reallocation of the import expenditure (the direct effect). This specification can...
