Estimation of meat and fish demand system in Vietnam: An application of the almost ideal demand system analysis

This study reports the results of Vietnam’s meat and fish consumption demand analysis using AIDS models. It uses cross-sectional data collected by General Statistics Office of Vietnam in 2008. The censored regression method for the system of equations was used to analyze meat and fish consumption patterns. The twostep demand system was estimated. In the first stage, Inverse Mill Ratio (IMR) was estimated by using the probit regression model.
