A Hedonic Metric Approach to Estimating the Demand for Differentiated Products: An Application to Retail Milk Demand [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 This article introduces the Hedonic Metric (HM) approach as an original method to model the demand for differentiated products. Using this approach, initially, we create an n-dimensional hedonic space based on the characteristic information available to consumers. Next, we allocate products into this space and estimate the elasticities using distances.

Radiostrontium activity concentrations in milk in the Republic of Croatia for 1961 - 2001 and dose assessment [PDF]
Health Physics. 87(2):160-65, 2004. Aug, 2004 Results of systematic measurements of Sr-90 activity concentrations in milk for the period 1961 - 2001 are summarized. An exponential decline of radioactivity followed the moratorium on atmospheric nuclear testing. The highest activity of Sr-90 deposited by fallout, being 1060 Bq/m2, was recorded in 1963, while the peak Sr-90 activity concentration in ...

Political conflicts and food import refusals
Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract We examine the impact of political conflicts on China's food import refusals using monthly data from 2010 to 2022. Our analysis reveals that political conflicts significantly contribute to increased food import rejections. Specifically, a one‐standard‐deviation rise in political tensions results in a .02% increase in the number of import ...
