“…This means that the income elasticity of demand for FAFH by Chinese households is more sensitive to changes in income compared to US households. This is evidenced by Stewart and Yen (2004) who found that the income elasticities of expenditure for fast-and full-service restaurants are 0,288 and 0,632 respectively, using US Bureau of Labor Statistics. In comparison, China has a larger income elasticity of around 1, and the robust nonparametric estimation results show that the income elasticity is still on the rise (Min, Fang and Li, 2004 (Ham, Hwang and Kim, 2004).…”

“…A new full-information maximum likelihood procedure was used to estimate a system of censored expenditure equations which supported this assumption. Stewart and Yen (2004) noted that the multivariate tobit system proposed by Amemiya (1974) accommodates censored dependent variables in an equation…”

“…A number of economic and demographic factors have been found to promote increased FAFH consumption, such as rising incomes, increased numbers of working spouses, changing household structures, and urbanisation (Liu, 2011;Stewart and Yen, 2004;Bai et al, 2010).The variables which affect FAFH expenditure appear to be common to most countries. Population trends in the US, which include increasing incomes, an aging population, smaller household sizes, and a progressively high proportion of households containing single people or multiple adults without live-at-home children, are likely to affect the supply of FAFH foods and services, and the diet and health of consumers .…”

“…The trend in household structures is towards single-person households, single-parent families and households with multiple adults without a live-at-home child (Stewart and Yen, 2004). The FAFH sector in South Africa has also been exposed to changes in the sociodemographic factors which encourage the consumption of fast foods.…”

“…Other studies have also identifi ed higher frequency of eating out among the young and among men, 8,12,13,23 as well as the association between demand for eating out and income or indicators of income such as schooling and employment situation. 2,14,23 In Brazil, a 10% increase in income contributed to a 3% rise in food bought to be consumed outside of the home. 7 In contrast to what has been observed in the United States, 2,23 the presence of children and family size were not associated with frequency of eating out in Brazil, except in the North and Northeast regions.…”

OBJECTIVE:To describe foods consumed away from home and associated factors in Brazil. METHODS:The study was based on the National Dietary Survey which was conducted among residents aged over 10 years old in 24% of households participating in the Household Budget Survey in 2008-2009 (n = 34,003). The consumption of food and beverages was collected through records of foods consumed, type of preparation, quantity, time and food source (inside or outside home). The frequency with which individuals consumed food away from home was calculated according to age, gender, income, household area location, family size, presence of children at home and age of head of household in Brazil and in each Brazilian region. Specifi c sampling weight and effect of the sampling design were considered in the analyses. RESULTS:Consumption of food away from home in Brazil was reported by 40% of respondents, varying from 13% among the elderly in the Midwest Region to 51% among adolescents in the Southeast. This percentage decreased with age and increased with income in all regions of Brazil and was higher among men and in urban areas. Foods with the highest percentage of consumption outside home were alcoholic beverages, baked and fried snacks, pizza, soft drinks and sandwiches. CONCLUSIONS:Foods consumed away from home showed a predominance of high energy content and poor nutritional content, indicating that the consumption of foods away from home should be considered in public health campaigns aimed at improving Brazilians' diet.

The association between food outlet accessibility and market competition to household food expenditures: Empirical evidence from the convenience store industry in Taiwan

Many studies document the importance of food outlet accessibility on household food expenditures. However, the role of market competition between commercial food outlets garners little attention in these studies. This paper provides the first evidence distinguishing between the association between food outlet accessibility and market competition among commercial food outlets on household food expenditures. Using administrative profiles on convenience stores and nationally representative repeated cross‐sectional household surveys from 2003 to 2016, we find that inter‐brand competition between convenience store chain brands is associated with total food, food at home, and food away from home expenditures in Taiwan. In contrast, food outlet accessibility has no significant correlation with household food expenditures after controlling for inter‐brand competition. [EconLit citations: Q13, L22].
