Among the factors considered to explain the pear consumption we find the price of the pear and of substitute or complementary goods, including apples and stone fruit, the consumption per capita of these goods, the real income of consumers, the general price index of the goods, the technology and the USD real exchange rate against the currencies of each of the countries considered. It has been used the panel data methodology with a sample made up of statistical data on the 17 main players in the global market from 1990 to 2012. Findings show that the results – the coefficients and their signs - are in line with the economic theory. |
