ELASTICITIES OF SUBSTITUTION BETWEEN CARBOHYDRATES IN SOUTH AFRICA

Helmke Sartorius von Bach and Johan van Zyl

Agrekon, 1994, vol. 33, issue 01

Abstract: Elasticities of substitution were estimated to determine how easily consumers switch from one carbohydrate product to another by using a translog function and the dual approach. Results indicate that carbohydrate pairs are substitutional in behaviour, which supports the observed interdependence between carbohydrates.
