Abstract
We assessed the impacts of low carbohydrate information on the market demand of US fruits using almost ideal demand system, Rotterdam and double-log models. Results indicated significant positive impacts of low carbohydrate information on the market demand of grape and lemon. However, a significant negative effect exists on market demand of apples and bananas. Majority of the estimated elasticities are consistent in terms of expected sign and magnitude across all models. © 2010 Taylor & Francis.
