Instrumental variables estimation of large demand systems with an application to fruit and vegetable demand and price index

Journal of the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper derives the asymptotic properties of an iterated three‐stage least squares (I3SLS) estimator and applies it to estimate a Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand (QUAID) system for 47 fruits and vegetables with endogenous prices. We calculate an exact price index from the estimates and compare it with several commonly used price indexes.

Bioconversion and characterization of watermelon rind waste‐based microcrystalline cellulose: A green alternative to synthetic reinforcements

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) was extracted from watermelon rind using acid hydrolysis. MCC can be efficiently used as reinforcement in biofilms and biocomposites. Abstract The increasing accumulation of agricultural waste from watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) represents a substantial environmental concern, particularly in view of the extensive ...
