Abstract
The purpose of the paper is to develop a model that describes the dependence of fishery consumption in the Russian Federation on key factors. We explore theoretical methods for studying demand for fish and fishery products and offer an original approach to solving the problem of increasing the reliability of demand description. We use the econometric modeling method, which is based on classical metrics of lagging change and adaptation of consumer demand (Houthakker-Taylor, Nerlove). The novelty of our approach lies in taking into account the key factors influencing the consumption of fishery products in the Russian Federation, as well as in the inclusion of dynamic variables in the model. The model allows more reliably than alternative solutions to describe the key characteristic of demand for fishery products – the level of per capita consumption. Testing the model showed a high level of statistical significance and explained variance, which gives grounds to talk about its adequacy. The practical significance of the proposed solution is to improve the scientific support for decisions on regulating the domestic fishery market.
