论文摘要
本文介绍了享乐指标(HM)方法,作为对差异化产品需求进行建模的原始方法。最初,使用这种方法,我们根据可以使用的特征信息来创建一个N维享乐空间。接下来,我们将产品分配到该空间中,并使用距离估算弹性。我们的模型可以在单个需求系统中估算大量差异化产品。我们应用了模型来估计流体奶产品的零售需求。
This article introduces the Hedonic Metric (HM) approach as an original method to model the demand for differentiated products. Using this approach, initially, we create an n-dimensional hedonic space based on the characteristic information available to consumers. Next, we allocate products into this space and estimate the elasticities using distances. Our model makes it possible to estimate a large number of differentiated products in a single demand system. We applied our model to estimate the retail demand for fluid milk products.
