Abstract
This study is an attempt to estimate the price and income elasticities of demand for red meat in Iran to help in policy making concerning this commodity. Time series data and log linear partial adjustment regression medel, is used to estimate the elasticities. The results show that the long-run price and income elasticities of demand for red meat in Iran are -0.51, respectively. The estimated price elasticity of -0.60 is comparable to the results of the other similar studies carried out on the demand for meat for Greece and Middle East. However, the estimated income elasticity of 0.51 is lower than the similar estimations made by the above-mentioned studies, which were generally close to or larger than one.
