The objective of the study is to estimate demand for wine in Australia, based on both the systems approach and the single equation approach. Both approaches consider demand for three categories of alcoholic drinks (beer, wine and spirits) in a seemingly unrelated regression framework to take...

The demand for wine is generally estimated on an aggregate level as a single commodity. However, as recent history shows us, the demand for wine not only varies considerably by varietal, but also by price point within each varietal. As a result, although estimates of the demand for wine may be...

Anticipating the impact of changes in economic incentives on dietary quality and nutritional health requires knowledge of how physical quantities of food consumed respond to price and income variations. A problem arises, however, because physical quantities are: 1- not consistent aggregates in...

This paper investigates the competition between domestic catfish filletsand imported tilapia fillets in the US market. The market segmentationbetween fresh and frozen fillets of both species is also considered. The substitutabilitybetween catfish and tilapia is of interest because market reports...

This study suggests that demand management through pricing policies can be used to solve water supply problems. A demand function for water was developed using cross-sectional water data. The demand function was used in a simulation analysis to determine reservoir capacity needed to supply water...

The purpose of this study is to analyse the demand for fresh fruits in Scotland in order to provide evidence about their sensitivity to changes in prices and income. Six fresh fruit categories were studied using time series for the period 2006 to 2011: citrus, apples and pears, bananas, grapes...

This article uses a discrete choice, random coefficients logit model for analyzing consumer behavior and retail price competition in the Boston fluid milk market. The problems of product dimensionality and consumer heterogeneity implied by imperfect substitution in markets with differentiated...

Analysts frequently adjust price, income, or other data to eliminate the influence of inflation or difference in size The authors of this article examine economic and statistical reasons for deflating time-series and cross-sectional data prior to estimating demand relations Signs and magnitudes...
