Abstract

Summary The objective of this study was to identify and measure the effects of the factors which affect both domestic (U.S.) and export demand for fresh U.S. grapefruit. The markets included in this study were the U.S., Canada, Japan, and the EEC. To estimate the demand function for fresh U.S. grapefruit in each of the markets, two methods of estimation were used. First, the demand functions were estimated independently by means of ordinary least squares. Secondly, since the demand functions in the four markets may be seemingly unrelated, Zellner's two-stage Aitken estimating prodedure was also used to estimate the demand functions. The results indicated that more significant coefficient estimates for the U.S., Canada, and Japan were obtained using Zellner's procedure.
