“…Some authors have suggested that food retailers should seize on food safety as a market segmentation mechanism (Caswell, Roberts, and Lin 1994;Henson and Northen 1998;Caswell 1998). While the Hawaiian milk scare was eventually resolved, new medical evidence about food-related health problems can sometimes permanently alter preferences and traditional demand modeling becomes inadequate (Yen, Jensen, and Wang 1996;Brown and Schrader 1990;van Ravenswaay and Hoehn 1991;Chavas 1983). …”

We examine how consumers and financial markets in the United States reacted to two health warnings about mad cow disease: the first discovery of an infected cow in December 2003 and an Oprah Winfrey show that aired seven years earlier on the potentially harmful effects of mad cow disease. We find a pronounced and significant reduction in beef sales following the first discovery of an infected cow in a product-level scanner data set of a national grocery chain. Cattle futures show a pattern of abnormal price drops comparable to the scanner data. Contracts with longer maturity show smaller drops, suggesting that the market anticipated the impact to be transitory. Cattle futures show abnormal price drops after the Oprah Winfrey show, that are, more than 50% of the drop following the 2003 discovery of an infected cow.

“…Así, en el ámbito de series temporales, se ha introducido determinadas variables con objeto de recoger el efecto ejercido por el nivel de información de los consumidores sobre la demanda de alimentos (Brown y Schrader, 1990;Ben Kaabia y otros, 2001. En el caso de estudios que emplean micro-datos (corte trasversal) podemos citar los trabajos de Nayga (2000), quien incorpora el efecto sobre la demanda del nivel de conocimiento acerca de la relación dieta-salud o los trabajos realizados por Angulo y Gil (2006) y Dhehibi et al (2007), en los que de una u otra forma se considera directamente la ingesta de nutrientes como variables determinantes de la demanda.…”

RESUMEN:En este trabajo se analiza la demanda de alimentos en España considerando la relación existente entre salud y dieta. Se plantea la maximización de una función de utilidad que depende de las cantidades demandadas de los distintos alimentos y del nivel de salud alcanzado, sujeto a dos restricciones: la presupuestaria y la relativa a la función de producción de salud. La solución al problema conduce a la estimación conjunta de un sistema de ecuaciones con dos componentes, una ecuación referida a la calidad de la dieta y un sistema de demanda de alimentos. Los resultados obtenidos indican, por un lado, que la introducción de la calidad de la dieta en un sistema de demanda (frente a un modelo que incluya únicamente renta y precios) modifica las elasticidades renta, aumentando en el caso de los productos más saludables. Por otro lado, se pone de manifiesto que un aumento en el nivel de calidad de la dieta conlleva un aumento en la valoración de los cereales y las patatas y una disminución en el grupo de aceites y carnes, principalmente.PALABRAS CLAVE: Demanda de alimentos, salud, calidad de la dieta, España.Clasificación JEL: D12, D13, Q11. Spanish food demand analysis taking into account the impact of diet on healthSUMMARY: This work analyses the Spanish demand for food taking into account the relationship between health and diet. Consequently, a utility function which depends on both food quantities and the level of health reached by consumers is maximized subject to two types of restrictions: a traditional budget constraint and a restriction associated with health production. The solution of the maximisation problem leads to a joint estimation of an equation system with two components, an equation referred to the diet quality and a food demand system. Results indicate that the introduction of the quality of diet in a demand system (in relation to the traditional model which only considers income and prices) modifies income elasticities, becoming greater in the case of healthier food groups. Moreover, an increase in diet quality implies an increase in the valuation of cereals and potatoes and a decrease of oil and meat groups. KEYWORDS:Food demand, health, diet quality, Spain.

“…Consumers received this information from many sources, including physicians, neighbours and the popular press (Brown and Schrader, 1990). According to Cameron (2005) most of the fear expressed by consumers is related to the fat in red meat and dairy produce.…”

Will consumers pay for less fat on beef cuts? The case in Bloemfontein, South Africa

There is increasing evidence that most of the fear expressed by consumers in terms of the link between cholesterol in the diet In this paper the willingness of consumers to pay for less fat in selected beef cuts (T-bone and rump) was investigated with a log-linear hedonic price model. The results showed that more affluent consumers in Bloemfontein were (i) willing to pay for additional external fat (this was contrary to expectations). This was attributable to the culture of food consumption and traditional cooking style (braai). The result does not imply that the amount of external fat can be unlimited, but rather that current external fat levels are desired by consumers; (ii) seam fat had a negative impact on prices of the selected beef cuts in Bloemfontein indicating that reducing the amount of a less desired attribute could shift the demand curve outward; (iii) marbling fat did not have a significant impact on prices of selected cuts in Bloemfontein; and (iv)
