By endogenizing unit value and coupon redemption, we estimate U.S. household cheese purchase, quality choice, and coupon redemption equations simultaneously. Zero purchases and missing values are taken into account in the model to correct for the selectivity bias. The correlations among the...

While per capita fluid milk consumption has been declining for decades in the United States, generic fluid milk marketing activities sponsored by fluid milk processors and dairy farmers have helped mitigate some of this decline. We estimate that these marketing efforts have had a positive and...

A panel data Tobit model is developed to examine the household purchase process for a frequently purchased commodity. The proposed model accounts not only for censoring or sample selectivity, but also the temporal dependence of the purchasing process using household panel data. The flexible...

Kuhn-Tucker approach and its dual have been proposed to the demand system estimation when there are non-negativity bindings. However, empirical researchers have been struggling two decades in applying this method into practice due to: (1) the difficulty in derivation of a coherent econometric...

A two-step sample selection model is used to estimate household demand equations for fluid milk and cheese products incorporating national generic advertising. This approach allows us to disentangle the incidence of the advertising effect on the probability of purchase and changes in the level...

In this study, we develop and estimate a censored LA/AIDS model using household-level purchase data. In addition to imposing non-negativitity constraints, we account for the endogeneity of unit value. We address the non-negativity issue using an Amemiya-Tobin approach, which imposes the...

In this paper, a two-equation sample selection model is used to estimate a household demand function for salmon incorporating domestic generic advertising. The twoequation estimation procedure, based on purchase and unit value equations, allows us to handle heavily censored panel data for salmon...

Quantity and quality effects of advertising are investigated in this article. A censored demand system is estimated for fish, beef, pork, and other meats using Norwegian household data. In the demand model, generic fish advertising and meat advertising is introduced as demand shifters, and at...

In this study, a market segmentation approach is developed and applied to analyze U.S. household cheese purchases. The segmentation is based on household interpurchase time or the hazard rate of purchases. The hazard rate for a household belonging to a given segment is a function of household...
