Abstract

This paper focuses on both at-home and away-from-home meat consumption in China, aiming to provide a deeper insight into the changing meat consumption patterns and their determinants in China. Data were collected in 2005 from two separate consumer surveys – one urban and one rural. A censored linear approximate Almost Ideal Demand System (LA–AIDS) model was employed in the study, and major economic parameters were estimated for different meat items. A Tobit model for away-from-home meat expenditure, and a system of multivariate Tobit equations were estimated. This enabled an examination of the links between at-home and away-from-home meat consumption. Moreover, it may be more important than it seems, and under-recording of away-from-home consumption could partly explain the widening gap in official statistics between China’s livestock production and meat consumption.
