Determining the causality between retail price and consumer demand in a linear function when demand-shift variables are missing but wholesale prices are available

Article Abstract:

A test procedure is proposed to test for the simultaneous nature of the relationship between price and quantity with respect to consumer demand of fresh products at the level of an individual retail chain. When the test procedure was applied to six fresh vegetable products sold by a Dutch supermarket chain it revealed that consumer demand for fresh products is better described by a simultaneous price-quantity relationship.
