Abstract

This empirical analysis revolves around the issue of deriving the underlying trends in the demand for beef, pork and poultry meats for years 2007, 2010 and 2012, respectively. Our research rests upon the presumption of Engel law which postulates the dependence of food demand given the income available, by holding the condition of ‘ceteris paribus’ valid. Econometric modelling results provide the estimates of meat income elasticities of demand. Their values range between 0.1 and 0.5, thus indicating that the demand for meat in Slovenia is income inelastic. Beef, pork and poultry meats have the characteristics of normal market goods for the whole period under the scrutiny here.
