When disaggregated from the industry level, however, the problem can be better described as a range of attribute-specific disequilibria. To date, the solutions to this problem have predominantly revolved around supply-side policies of reducing output through crop thinning or vine pulling. By contrast, this paper focuses on the demand side and argues that the disequilibria may be reduced by gaining a better understanding of the demand for Australian wine. A discrete choice model of product differentiation is used to estimate the demand for wine in Australia’s second largest export market, the United States. Implications of the analysis are explored.}, url = {http://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/161896}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.22004/ag.econ.161896}, }
