Effects of Measurement Error in Disappearance Data on Estimated Demand Elasticities for Keats

Abstract

The traditional approach of using USDA disappearance data as a proxy for per capita consumption in estimating retail demand elasticities for meats results in biased elasticity estimates. A new procedure for obtaining unbiased estimates is developed that does not impose the assumption of fixed proportions technology in the processing sector.
