Resumo: | The objective of this research was to analyze the demand patterns of Hispanic households for meats in comparison with other ethnic groups using data from the 1998 Consumer Expenditure Survey.  A system of demand equations of the LinQuad form were estimated for ten meat products using an incomplete system of censored equations.  Hispanic households showed a clear preference for beef.  Price, income, and household-size elasticities were estimated for each meat product by ethnic group.  The demand for ground beef was the most income-inelastic product regardless of ethnicity.  Household size had a positive effect on the probability of consuming a particular meat product but a negative effect on actual item expenditures.
