Estimates of price and scale demand elasticities for lamb and mutton consumed in the United States are derived. The U.S. lamb and mutton consumption comprises primarily of domestic production, and imports from two countries-Australia and New Zealand. The Netherlands Central Bureau of Statistics...

We estimated a wholesale demand system for beef, pork, lamb, chicken, and turkey using quarterly U.S. data and a dynamic, CBS system (Keller and Van Driel). The CBS system is a differential system, which means that it might be more appropriately applied in those situations where the data have...

The stability of the US consumer demand for meat has been a popular topic for journal articles I show that econometric models imply that demand is fundamentally unstable. A good way to build taste instability into econometric demand equations is to specify them as random coefficient models. I...

Due to a depressed wool industry sheep inventories have been declining resulting in significant increases in lamb and mutton imports. Goals of this paper are to estimate the derived demand and output supply for U.S. lamb imports, estimate demand elasticities, and to determine the impact of TRQ...

The paper demonstrates that random coefficient models can be estimated by maximum likelihood if they are specified as generalized least squares models. The paper uses maximum likelihood estimation on a random-coefficient, meat-demand system. Statistical tests show that price elasticities are...
