Abstract

This study aims at estimating the consumer's demand and willingness to pay(WTP) for horse meat in Korea. Three econometric models are employed to examine the multiple layers of the demand, including the current demand, the potential demand and latent demand. Findings indicate a substantial demand for horse meat. Dichotomous choice contingent valuation method is used to elicit the WTP. We assess the mean WTP for horse meat using a double-bounded logistic model. As a result, consumers are willing to pay at 67.8 percent of the beef prices of the third quality grade to purchase horse meat. And, for the factors that influence on WTP, only sex, age and recognition of horse meat are statistically significant.

본 연구는 말고기에 대한 소비자 수요와 지불의사액을 추정하는데 연구목적이 있다. 먼저 말고기에 대한 소비자 수요를 현재수요(current demand), 잠재추가수요(potential demand) 그리고 잠재신규수요(latent demand)로 구분하여 조사하였으며 로짓 모형을 이용하여 소비자 수요별 설명변수와의 유의성을 검토하였다. 다음으로 이선선택형 가상가치법(DC-CVM)을 이용하여 말고기에 대한 지불의사액을 추정하였다. 말고기에 대한 소비자 지불의사액은 한우 3등급 등심부위 가격의 67.8% 수준이었으며, 이들 지불의사액에 미치는 영향은 남자일수록, 연령이 낮을수록, 그리고 말고기에 대한 인지도가 높을수록 지불의사액이 높았다.
