Abstract
This thesis investigates demand system estimation of five different apple varieties which are Starking Delicious, Golden, Gala, Granny Smith, and Fuji from Isparta in Turkey. Demand estimation is conducted with two well established models: Almost Ideal Demand System (LA/AIDS) and Rotterdam model were used. Results for estimated own-price elasticities, cross-price elasticities and income elasticities are generally consistent with previous literature for both the AIDS and the Rotterdam model. For expenditure elasticities, according to AIDS estimation results, the five apple varieties are all normal goods. However, for the Rotterdam estimation results, two varieties out of the five are inferior goods, those being Golden and Gala.
