Using annual Japanese fresh fruit import data from 1971 to 1997, this study analyzes the import patterns of Japan's seven most popular fresh fruits by implementing and testing a general differential demand system that nests four alternative import demand specifications. When tested against the general system using the five-good case (bananas, grapefruits, oranges, and lemons and aggregating pineapples, berries, and grapes), the analysis rejects the Almost Ideal Demand System and National Bureau of Research specifications but does not reject Rotterdam and Central Bureau of Statistics models. When estimated using the six-good case (bananas, grapefruits, oranges, lemons, and pineapples and aggregating berries and grapes), the analysis rejects all specifications except the Rotterdam model.

The market of wooden beds in the U.S. has been flooded with imports from China and Vietnam in recent years. Static and dynamic Almost Ideal Demand System models are used to assess the import demand for wooden beds from the top seven supplying countries. The analyses reveal that the antidumping investigation on China has some temporary trade depression effect on China, but trade diversion occurs to Vietnam, Indonesia, Canada, and Brazil. The formal implementation of antidumping duties since 2005 has not shown any significant effect on the trade pattern. U.S. consumers spend more on beds from newly industrialized countries and there are moderate degrees of substitution among wooden beds from most countries.

ABSTRAKDampak terbukanya pasar pada komoditas kopi dunia ditunjukkan dengan adanya kelebihan pasokankopi di dunia. Di sisi lain, permintaan kopi dunia mengalami stagnasi bahkan pada beberapa negaraimportir mengalami penurunan, sehingga hal tersebut menyebabkantingginyatingkatpersainganantarnegaraprodusen. Penelitian ini menggambarkan daya saing kopiIndonesia di pasar Amerika sebagai negara importir kopi terbesar. Pendekatan persamaan two-stagedemand digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Persamaan pertama menganalisis permintaan Amerikamenggunakan pendekatan persamaan linier double-log untuk mengidentifikasi respon harga secaraumum pada perdagangan internasional. Persamaan kedua membedakan komoditas berdasarkannegara asal menggunakan pendekatan error correction almost ideal demand system (ECAIDS).Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perubahan harga teh sebagai produk substitusi dari kopi sangatberpengaruh terhadap permintaan kopi. Peningkatan pengeluaran impor Amerika akan meningkatkanpangsa ekspor Indonesia dengan nilai yang lebih kecil dibandingkan peningkatan negara lainnya.Kopi Indonesia memiliki hubungan komplementer dengan kopi Colombia, namun saling substitusidengan negara lainnya. Indonesia memiliki daya saing yang relatif lemah dan untuk meningkatkandaya saingnya, Indonesia sebaiknya menurunkan biaya produksi dengan meningkatkan produktivitasdan kualitasnya melalui promosi.Katakunci: daya saing, Indonesia, kopi, permintaan imporABSTRACTThe impact of open market in world coffee comodity is reflected by the excess supply of world coffee.On the other hand, world coffee demand has faced stagnation even in some importer countriesdecreased, so that it causes high level of competition among producers. This study representsIndonesia’s coffee competitiveness in United States market as the largest coffee importer. A two-stage demand equation was employed in this study. The first equation analyzed the United statedemand by using a double logarithmic-linear approach to identify price responses generally ininternational trade. The second equation distinguished commodities by the origin country using anerror correction almost ideal demand system (ECAIDS) approach. The result implied that a changeof tea price as a subtitute product of coffee strongly affected on coffee import demand. Theincreasing of US’s import expenditure would increase Indonesia export share which is relativelysmaller than the increasing of other countries. Indonesia coffee had complementary relationshipwith Colombia coffee; however, with other countries were subtituted each other. Indonesia had arelatively weak market competitiveness and to improve its market competitiveness, Indonesia shouldbecome more competitive in cost allocation by improving the productivity and its quality throughpromotion.Keywords: competitiveness, Indonesia, coffee, import demand

AbstractThis study examines imposing and testing restrictions on preference variables in the Rotterdam model through the impacts of these variables on marginal utilities. An empirical analysis of the impact of a female labor force participation variable in a Rotterdam demand system for fresh fruit illustrates the methodology. This variable was modeled through its impact on marginal utilities via “adjusted” prices, following theoretical work by Basmann and Barten, among others. Results show that the female labor participation has negatively impacted the demands for citrus, while positively impacting the demands for other fresh fruit.
