Tests Of Weak Separability: The Case Of Disaggregated Meat Products

Abstract

Parametric tests of weak separability are conducted for disaggregated meat products. These tests show that consumers choose among disaggregated meat products of a particular animal origin and not across animal origins. Scanner data and the linear approximation of the Almost Ideal Demand System model are used in the analysis.
