How do consumers respond to Covid-19? Application of Bayesian approach on credit card transaction data
Methodological Challenges in Estimating the Lifetime Medical Care Cost Externality of Obesity
There is a great deal of variability in estimates of the lifetime medical care cost externality of obesity, partly due to a lack of transparency in the methodology behind these cost models. Several important factors must be considered in producing the best possible estimate, including age-related weight gain, differential life expectancy, identifiability, and cost model selection. In particular, age-related weight gain represents an important new…

A Behavioral Intervention Increases Consumption of a New Biofortified Food by School Children
Children’s diets can have major implications for a wide range of diseases and their development outcomes. In Africa, micronutrient deficiency remains a major challenge and affects the health and development of vulnerable populations, especially children. A major effort to combat micronutrient deficiency has targeted biofortification of staple foods, with greatest potential being registered in the enrichment of, among others, sweetpotato with beta…

Overview
The impact of a supermarket nutrition rating system on purchases of nutritious and less nutritious foods
Objective The current study examines the impact of a nutrition rating system on consumers’ food purchases in supermarkets. Design Aggregate sales data for 102 categories of food (over 60 000 brands) on a weekly basis for 2005–2007 from a supermarket chain of over 150 stores are analysed. Change in weekly sales of nutritious and less nutritious foods, after the introduction of a nutrition rating system on store shelves, is calculated, controlling …

Trayless cafeterias lead diners to take less salad and relatively more dessert
Objective Many colleges are removing trays from their dining facilities in hope of reducing waste. How does not having a tray impact food choice? Design A field study was conducted in a university cafeteria ( n 417) on two evenings with identical menus, one with tray service and one without. Setting A dining hall of a large north-eastern university, USA. Subjects Undergraduate students. Results Trayless dining decreased the percentage of diners (…
Chefs move to schools. A pilot examination of how chef-created dishes can increase school lunch participation and fruit and vegetable intake
Why Farmers Sometimes Love Risks
Using a unique data set collected among farmers in India’s semiarid tropics, we document the surprising prevalence of risk-taking behavior in the face of realistically framed high-stakes gambles. We hypothesize that this apparently anomalous behavior is due to a combination of credit constraints and nonconvexities in production. In particular, the high-stakes nature of the gambles creates the potential for a farmer to undertake a productive inves…
Default options, incentives and food choices
Objective To examine whether requiring children to place fruits and vegetables on their lunch trays increases consumption of these items. Design Observational study that exploited naturally occurring variation between two school districts and a pre–post observational study at schools that changed their lunch policy mid-year. Setting Fifteen elementary schools from two school districts, one requiring students to place a fruit or vegetable on their…
College cafeteria snack food purchases become less healthy with each passing week of the semester
Objective Snacks, stress and parties all contribute to the weight gain – the elusive ‘Freshman 15’ – that some college-goers unfortunately experience. The present study examines how à la carte snack choice changes on a university campus during each progressing week of the academic calendar. Design How à la carte snack choices change on a university campus with each progressing week of the academic calendar was examined. Setting The data were coll…
The Flat-Rate Pricing Paradox
Are price and consumption independent in flat-rate price service contexts? A field experiment at an all-you-can-eat pizza restaurant shows that a 50% discount on the price of the meal led customers to consume 27.9% less pizza (2.95 versus 4.09 pieces). A second analysis indicated that individual taste ratings of this pizza tended to be inversely related to how much is consumed. One possible interpretation of these two findings is that individuals…
Smoking, drinking, and the distribution of adult body weight
This paper contributes to the recent debate on the association between smoking and obesity by distinguishing the effects of smoking, drinking beer and liquor on the distribution of body weight. Using a national survey in the United States, results show that these three behaviors are correlated. Smoking is found to be insignificantly associated with body weight. These findings alleviate some of the concern about smoking cessation and weight gain. …
Do Free Goods Stick to Poor Households? Experimental Evidence on Insecticide Treated Bednets
Hitting the Jackpot or Hitting the Skids
State-sponsored lotteries are a lucrative source of revenue. Despite their low payout rates, lotteries are extremely popular, particularly among low-income citizens. State officials laud the benefits of lottery proceeds and promote the fun and excitement of participation. This entertainment value is one explanation for lottery demand by the poor: individuals with lower incomes substitute lottery play for other entertainment. Alternatively, low-in…
