HOUSEHOLD NUTRIENT DEMAND: USE OF CHARACTERISTICS THEORY AND A COMMON ATTRIBUTE MODEL

Southern Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1986, vol. 18, issue 2, 12

Abstract: A characteristics model, which assumes goods generate a common set of attributes but no unique attribute, is described. The model yielded two equations which were estimated. One was a set of hedonic price equations in which the price paid for each food purchased was a function of imputed attribute prices. This set of equations was estimated at the household level. Nutrient demand equations were estimated across households. Imputed prices, income, and household characteristics including location, size, education, age distribution, and race affected nutrient demand levels.
