  • Home Cooking, Food Consumption, and Food Production among Retired Canadian Households

    Matthew Brzozowski, Yuqian LuARTICLECanadian Public Policy2010References: 2

    Utilizing the 1996 Canadian Food Expenditure Survey matched with the Canadian Nutrient File, we attempt to differentiate between food consumption and the observed food expenditure among retired Canadians. We look at the effect of retirement on food expenditure, production, and consumption to test the universality of results obtained by Aguiar and Hurst (2005) from US data. In contrast to US results, conditional on a similar vector of covariates, …
