中国羊肉价格上涨的经济效应研究

羊肉是中国重要的畜产品之一。近些年来，受到羊肉供给不足、市场消费需求旺盛、肉羊养殖成本上升等多方面因素的影响，中国羊肉价格迅速上涨。运用相关统计数据分析羊肉价格上涨分别对羊肉供给、居民羊肉消费以及CPI的影响。分析结果显示：羊肉价格的上涨对羊肉供给的增加有着较为积极的影响，羊肉供给的短期价格弹性和长期价格弹性分别为0．31和0．76；羊肉价格上涨会增加居民羊肉消费支出，收入较低群体和边疆少数民族居民所受的影响程度更大；羊肉价格与CPI有相关性，其价格上涨会推动CPI，但程度有限。基于上述结论，提出应加大对羊肉生产的政策扶持力度，为收入较低群体和边疆少数民族聚居地区居民提供补贴以及加强价格的监测与预警工作。
