Abstract

El mercado de la carne se ha visto afectado por las recientes crisis alimentarias. La decisión del consumo se ve afectada por el precio, y éste por las características del producto y otros factores que pueden influir en la utilidad del consumidor. A través de la metodología de los precios hedónicos, nuestro objetivo es determinar el valor económico asignado por el consumidor a las características de la carne que influyen en su decisión de compra. Se utiliza información proporcionada por dos encuestas a 540 consumidores de la ciudad de Zaragoza en 2001 y 2002. En la estimación econométrica se asume una forma funcional flexible, a partir de una transformación Box-Cox, lo que resuelve el problema de la forma funcional. Los resultados muestran que la valoración de los consumidores de los atributos de la carne no varía de un año a otro y que la pertenencia a alguna Denominación de Origen es la característica que más determina el precio de la carne de ternera. Palabras clave: mercado de la carne, precios hedónicos, transformación Box-Cox, Denominación de Origen, estimación econométrica. Abstract. Beef market has been affected by recent food products crises. The consumer's decision is being related to the price and this one by the product characteristics and by other factors which can influence the consumer's utility. The objective of the paper is to analyse the economic value of the beef attributes influencing the consumer's purchase decision using an hedonic prices methodology. Data come from two surveys carried out on 540 consumers in Zaragoza City in the years 2001 and 2002. In the econometric estimation, a flexible functional form is assumed, the Box-Cox transformation. This approach solves the functional form problem. Results show that the consumers' assessment on the beef attributes does not change from one year to another and that the designation of origin is the most important characteristic determining the beef price.
