PriceElasticities

Calculates the physical elasticity for food demand

Usage

PriceElasticities(
  gdx,
  file = NULL,
  level = "reg",
  calibrated = TRUE,
  products = "kfo"
)

Arguments

gdx

GDX file

file

a file name the output should be written to using write.magpie

level

Level of regional aggregation; "iso" ISO country codes, "reg" (regional), "glo" (global)

calibrated

if FALSE, the true regression outputs are used, if TRUE the values calibrated to the start years are used

products

set of the products for which the elasticity should be estimated. Please note that this stills remains an elasticity relative to total food expenditure. So its the change in consumption of one good when the prices of all products change according to the scenario.

Value

magpie object with the livestock share in a region or country. Unit is dimensionsless, but value depends on chosen attribute
