An Economic Analysis of Thailand's Cephalopod Export Market

This study attempts to provide information and evaluation of factors affecting the Thai export market of cephalopod to Japan. This was accomplished by estimating simultaneous export demand and supply equations using quarterly data from 1975 through 1983. The commodities are grouped into two, i.e...

Export supply is explained by weighted average export price of cephalopod, lagged export quantity of cephalopod, and dummy variables while export demand is hypothesized to be a function of cephalopod weighted average export price, lagged weighted average export price, price of substitute good, Japanese's real income and dummy variables.

Cross price elasticities of demand as compensated to substitution products (shrimps, prawns and lobsters) are found to be highly inelastic.

description This study attempts to provide information and evaluation of factors affecting the Thai export market of cephalopod to Japan.

Export supply is explained by weighted average export price of cephalopod, lagged export quantity of cephalopod, and dummy variables while export demand is hypothesized to be a function of cephalopod weighted average export price, lagged weighted average export price, price of substitute good, Japanese's real income and dummy variables.
