Abstract

This study examines the effects of different model specifications upon estimates of Japanese meat demand. Two static Almost Ideal Demand Systems (AIDS) are estimated using two different levels of disaggregation in Japanese meat consumption. The demand relationships among various meat groups are estimated and compared between a model based on origin and a model based on quality differences.
