the purpose of this paper is measuring and analyzing the impacts of meat price changes on consumer’s welfare. first, the almost ideal demand system (aids) was estimated for meats in urban household in 1984-2009 years. then, compensating variation (cv) criterion was computed to measuring the consumer’s welfare changes based on taylor series expansion method and the results from the estimated aid...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate dynamic food demand in urban China, with use of a complete dynamic demand system DLES-LA/DAIDS, which pushes forward the techniques of demand analysis. Design/methodology/approach – We employ a transitionary demand process and develop a new approach of complete demand system with a two-stage dynamic budgeting: an additively separable dynamic...

Abstract Export promotion at the extensive margin is a key concern of governments. We develop measures how far firms in origin sectors are from break-even entry destination markets. The measure based on Almost Ideal gravity featuring heterogeneous price and income elasticities. Tobit estimation 2006 trade flows for 75 countries 25 generates Latent Trade Bias (LTB) – latent (projected) share non...

We study semi-stable ideal lattices coming from quadratic number fields. We prove that all ideal lattices of trace type from rings of integers of imaginary quadratic number fields are semi-stable. For real quadratic fields, we demonstrate infinite families of semi-stable and unstable ideal lattices, establishing explicit conditions on the canonical basis of an ideal that ensure stability; in pa...
