Description

This paper estimates the quadratic almost ideal demand system for alcoholic beverages in Japan using the Statistics Bureau of Japan’s “Family Income and Expenditure Survey” for the entire Japan and Kagoshima city. Based on the QUAIDS model, the expenditure and price elasticities of demand are estimated to understand the demand structure of alcoholic beverages in Japan and Kagoshima city. The major findings of this paper are as follows: At the national level, the demand for beer is more responsive to alcoholic beverage expenditure than that for other items. Beer and low-malt beer are substitutes for each other based on the national data. In Kagoshima city, the demand for Shochu (Japanese traditional hard liquor, distilled spirits made from grains and vegetables) is the only item that is responsive to alcoholic beverage expenditure.
