Lewbel (1989) developed an approach for the construction of household level commodity price indices (Stone-Lewbel prices) using only budget shares and CPIs of the goods comprising the commodity groups. In this study, we consider three alternative CPIs for the construction of SL prices and the...

This paper analyzes the European Union (EU) import demand for in-shell peanuts from three sources: the United States, China, and the rest of the world. We find that peanuts from different sources are differentiated by EU consumers. The expenditure elasticity is elastic for U.S. in-shell peanuts,...

El objeto de este trabajo es realizar un amplio estudio de la estructura de consumo en España de productos hortofrutícolas y particularmente de hortalizas frescas, considerados en general componentes esenciales de la alimentación mediterránea. A partir del tratamiento de las cantidades como...

This research estimates import demand elasticities for in-shell peanuts in the European Union from four different sources: China, the United States, South America, and Africa. The null hypothesis of aggregation over product sources is rejected at conventional levels of significance suggesting...

The main objective of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of the U.S. Foreign Market Development (FMD) program on the European Union imported demand for shelled peanuts. We find that the FMD program had a positive effect on the EU demand for U.S. shelled peanuts. This result suggests...

The results indicate that a dynamic specification of the AIDS model is superior to the static AIDS model. The separability test for both the static and dynamic AIDS models conclude that imported meat consumption is non-separable from the U.S. consumption so domestic meat should be included in...

This paper analyzes the effect of labeling information on U.S. farmers’ herbicide choices. Herbicide choices reported by U.S. soybean farmers are used to estimate farmer preferences for different herbicide attributes using a mixed logit model. Our results indicate that statements...

This study investigates the possibility of using local food banks as a distributor in the local food supply chain. The specific research objective is to estimate the price premium consumers are willing to pay at retail outlets for locally grown products, if consumers have knowledge that a...

This paper analyzes the theoretical underpinnings of producers’ willingness to pay (WTP) for novel inputs. In addition to conceptualizing the WTP function for producers, we derive its comparative statics and demonstrate the use of these properties to estimate input quantities demanded, outputs...
