The impact of determinants of supply and demand on prices in the catering industry

Z metodo glavnih komponent smo ugotovili dve skupni komponenti, s katerima je mogoče pojasniti skupne dejavnike analiziranih spremenljivk, in sicer splošna raven cen in plače v gostinstvu ter uvedba evra, stabilnost cen v evrih in povpraševanje po gostinskih storitvah. z multiplo regresijsko analizo je bilo ugotovljeno, da so cene gostinskih storitev kratkoročno pozitivno in statistično značilno povezane z uvedbo evra, povpraševanjem po gostinskih storitvah in rastjo cen hrane in brezalkoholnih pijač kot vmesnimi stroški vlokov (inputov). Uporabljeni so mesečni podatki Statističnega urada Republike Slovenije od leta 2000 do leta 2007.The principal component analysis confirms two common components, identified as the general level of prices and wages in the catering industry and the adoption of the Euro, Euro price stabilisation, and demands for catering industry service. The multiple regression analysis confirms a positive and statistically significant association of the catering industry prices with adoption of the Euro, tourists\u27 demand, and the rise of prices of food and non-alcoholic beverages as intermediate input costs that are found to be significant drivers for the increases of the catering industry prices. The empirical analysis on the factors of inflation in the catering industry is based on the monthly statistical data from 2000 to 2007
