My dissertation consists of three empirical essays where I analyze animal products consumption and marketing. First using cross-sectional household data, I investigate the importance of consumption from home produce (self-provisioning) and conclude that studying food consumption decisions in isolation from production is not warranted for Turkey. I develop a testing procedure incorporated into l...

Before designing an electrical system, the estimation of load is necessary for unit sizing and demand-generation balancing. The system could be a stand-alone system for a village or grid connected or integrated renewable energy to grid connection, especially as there are non–electrified villages in developing countries. In the classical model, the energy demand was found by estimating the house...

This article considers interaction among participation in the Food Stamp Program (FSP), food security status, and the composition of food expenditures. A quadratic almost ideal demand system with a bootstrapping two-step method of estimation is applied to data from the Current Population Survey–Food Security Supplement data and used to estimate the model and account for endogeneity between the ...

while ignoring income distribution and estimating aggregate demand generally leads to aggregation bias and thus, does not reflect households’ demand properly, yet aggregation bias is rarely considered in empirical demand studies and simply is ignored in most cases. the objective of the present study is to estimate aggregation bias in households’ demand for various types of meats and to evaluate...

iran has experienced high food prices in recent years. this paper examines the welfare impacts of rising major food groups' prices on iranian urban households using quadratic almost ideal demand system (quaids) approach. the elasticity coefficients derived from quaids are used to estimate compensated variations (cv).the study uses iranian household expenditure and income survey (heis) raw data,...

One form of the environmentally friendly power plant is Micro Hydro Power (MHP). An area in East Java that uses MHP as a source Seloliman Village Mojokerto. Although this village has resources to produce electricity independently, not all residents are willing use energy for various reasons. This study aims formulate consumption patterns users rural areas based on socio-economic characteristics...

due to the number of new substances coming into use every year and the increasing amounts of chemicals, which are introduced into the environment, there is a high demand for a rapid, reliable and cost-effective method for detection of developmental toxicity. to meet this challenge various in vitro techniques have been established additional to in vivo animal testing. this review introduces the ...

Households consume animal protein after carbohydrate food is fulfilled, moreover prices are increasing. This study aims to analyze the effect of rising beef on demand. The demand system approach uses Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System (QUAIDS) model. Estimation parameters using Iterated non-linear Seemingly Unrelated Regression. research data use 2016 National Socio-Economic Survey (Susenas, ...

We analyze the stability of efficiency rankings of German universal banks between 1993 and 2004. First, we estimate traditional efficiency scores with stochastic cost and alternative profit frontier analysis. Then, we explicitly allow for different risk preferences and measure efficiency with a structural model based on utility maximization. Using the almost ideal demand system, we estimate inp...
