Abstract

This paper aims to examine the food consumption decisions of households in Pakistan to understand the demand for different food commodities and to determine the effects of important economic factors such as prices and income. Linear Almost Ideal Demand System model is applied to estimate food demand patterns using the Household Integrated Economic Survey of Pakistan for the year 2011-2012. Food products are categorized into fourteen groups including milk, vegetables, sugar, rice, fruits, beverages, wheat & wheat flour, other cereals, pulses, oil & fats, tea & coffee, backed products and other food. Economic factors such as food commodities price and household’s income and their socioeconomic and demographic characteristics are included in the model.
