“…Households in different parts of the U.S. spend more on dairy products than those households who live in the South. This result is consistent with the old study conducted by Boehm (1975) who revealed that household consumption of dairy products in the South tends to be lower than the national average due to the higher prices of dairy products and lower household income in the South compared to the national household income. Households in the Western, Eastern, and Central regions of the United States are more likely to purchase refrigerated yogurt, natural cheese, cottage cheese, and butter than those in the Southern region (Davis et al 2010).…”

This paper uses the diary portion of the 2016 Consumer Expenditure Survey to study the impact of income on dairy product expenditure in the United States using the Tobit model. Results show that the effect of income is positive and significant. However, as income increases, households introduce more dairy products into their consumption bundle. Low-income households who are eligible for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program would get benefit from this program as the effect of this program on dairy product expenditure is also positive and significant. The study suggests that this information needs to be used by public sectors when formulating their health-promoting programs, and also by food retailers when making their market strategies.

This study is an econometric systems approach to modeling the factors and linkages affecting risk perceptions toward agricultural biotechnology, self-protection actions, and food demand. This model is applied to milk in the United States, but it can be adapted to other products as well as other categories of risk perceptions. The contribution of this formulation is the ability to examine how explanatory factors influence risk perceptions and whether they translate into behavior and ultimately what impact this has on aggregate markets. Hadden's outrage factors on heightening risk perceptions are among the factors examined. In particular, the article examines the role of labeling as a means of permitting informed consent to mitigate outrage factors. The effects of attitudinal, economic, and demographic factors on risk perceptions are also explored, as well as the linkage between risk perceptions, consumer behavior, and food demand. Because risk perceptions and self-protection actions are categorical variables and demand is a continuous variable, the model is estimated as a two-stage mixed system with a covariance correction procedure suggested by Amemiya. The findings indicate that it is the availability of labeling, not the price difference, between that labeled milk and milk produced with recombinant bovine Somatotropin (rbST) that significantly affects consumer's selection of rbST-free milk. The results indicate that greater availability of labeled milk would not only significantly increase the proportion of consumers who purchased labeled milk, its availability would also reduce the perception of risk associated with rbST, whether consumers purchase it or not. In other words, availability of rbST-free milk translates into lower risk perceptions toward milk produced with rbST.

“…Demand estimates for specific products such as frozen desserts are (perhaps understandably) rare. Boehm (1975) estimated price elasticities of demand for ice cream and frozen novelties, Huang (1993) estimated price elasticities for ice cream as part of a large-scale complete demand system for food using annual U.S. data from 1953 to 1990, and Maynard and Liu (1999) estimated price elasticities for ice cream, frozen yogurt, and frozen novelties. To the authors' knowledge, this is the most comprehensive demand analysis of frozen dairy products and their primary substitutes.…”
