| Research Abstract |
This study investigates the general food system including consumer demand, agricultural production, and international trade, with special reference to the falling birth rate, aging population, and food safety. The linear approximate quadratic almost ideal demand system, which is closed under unit scaling even with additional regressors in it and is more flexible in expenditure variations than the popular linear approximate almost ideal demand system, is applied to pseudo panel data per household on 12 food groups in 49 cities for the period January 2000 through December 2008. Other analyses include econometric analysis of agricultural production and applied microeconomic analysis of international trade.
