Quantifying the structure of food demand in China: An econometric approach

Abstract: This article examines food demand structure and its dynamics for 11 commodities in urban China. The analysis is based on household-level expenditure survey data for two cross-sectional surveys of Chinese households pertaining to food expenditure patterns during 1995 and 2003. Pre-committed components of commodity demands, that are insensitive to economic variables, are explored.We use the generalized quadratic almost ideal demand system (GQAIDS) for its empirical superiority to the generalized almost ideal dem… Show more

“…Then, the chi-square (χ 2 ) value of the DWH statistic shows whether endogeneity exists in the model. Under the situation of endogeneity, the full-information maximum likelihood (FIML) (Al-Zand and Hassan, 1977;Henneberry, 2009, 2011;Hovhannisyan and Gould, 2011) and the GMM estimator (Banks et al, 1997;Abdulai and Aubert, 2004) are applied to estimate the QUAIDS model. If the error terms are not normally distributed, however, the FIML method may produce poor results (Zheng, 2008).…”

“…However, the use of the unit value may ignore the difference in the quality of commodities, thus inducing a potential measurement error (Gao, 1997;Zheng, 2008;Hovhannisyan and Gould, 2011). Therefore, a procedure for adjusted-quality prices following Cox and Wohlgenant (1986) is applied.…”

“…Além de considerar os preços e dispêndio, o sistema de demanda estimado também inclui outras variáveis que captam a heterogeneidade dos consumidores (Pollak;Wales, 1981;Hovhannisyan;Gould, 2011). Dessa forma, o modelo estimado é o seguinte: (Mutuc et al, 2007).…”
