dc.description.abstractHidden consumption is a potential problem when consumers' expenditure data from household surveys are used in demand analyses. A solution is to collect and use actual consumption data. This study compares demand estimation using consumption and expenditure data and evaluates meat demand in Nigeria. Data are from a nationally representative panel from Nigeria. The results show the elasticities estimated across both datasets were very similar; thus, if the only objective of data collection is to estimate elasticity using a demand system framework, collection of both types of data (consumption and expenditures) may be unnecessary. The elasticity estimates classify poultry, beef, and processed seafood as luxuries, while other meat and unprocessed seafood are classified as necessities. Own-price elasticities from both datasets indicated that poultry, beef, and processed seafood were price-elastic, and poultry was the most price-elastic.
