Demand for red meat, poultry, and fish in Morocco: an almost ideal demand system [PDF]

Agricultural Economics, 1993
There is a paucity of data and basic research needed for policy analysis in Morocco. Subjective estimates for elasticities are currently used in making policy recommendations. An Almost Ideal Demand System model is used to estimate demand elasticities for beef, mutton, poultry, and fish in Morocco.
