Geographic Differences in the Relative Price of Healthy Foods
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Todd,   Jessica E.; Leibtag,   Ephraim S.; Penberthy,   Corttney.
Although healthy foods can be affordable, if less healthy foods are cheaper, individuals may have an economic incentive to consume a less healthful diet. Using the Quarterly Food-at-Home Price Database, we explore whether a select set of healthy foods (whole grains, dark green vegetables, orange vegetables, whole fruit, skim and 1% milk, fruit juice, and bottled water) are more expensive than less healthy alternatives. We find that not all healthy foods are more expensive than less healthy alternatives; skim and 1% milk are less expensive than whole and 2% milk and bottled water is generally less expensive than carbonated nonalcoholic drinks. We also find considerable geographic variation in the relative price of healthy foods. This price variation may...

THE IMPACT OF BIG-BOX STORES ON RETAIL FOOD PRICES AND THE CONSUMER PRICE INDEX
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Leibtag,   Ephraim S.
Over the past 10 years, the growth of nontraditional retail food outlets has transformed the food market landscape, increasing the variety of shopping and food options available to consumers, as well as price variation in retail food markets. This report focuses on these dynamics and how they affect food price variation across store format types. The differences in prices across store formats are especially noteworthy when compared with standard measures of food price inflation over time. Over the past 20 years, annual food price changes, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), have averaged just 3 percent per year, while food prices for similar products can vary by more than 10 percent across store formats at any one point in time. Since the...

Measuring Retail Food Price Variation: Does the Data Source Matter?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Leibtag,   Ephraim S.
The main area of focus in this paper is variation across regions and over time in the U.S. as estimated by different food price data sets. There are a variety of potential sources for food price data, but it is important to compare the relative strengths and weaknesses of the data sources in order to estimate the magnitude of the variation in average prices from the different sources.  No one data source can account for all potential measurement problems, but by estimating average food prices for similar, or even identical products, one can test for whether there are significant differences in average food prices based on the data source.

Autores: Beach,   Robert H.; Kuchler,   Fred; Leibtag,   Ephraim S.; Zhen,   Chen.
To better understand how information about potential health hazards influences food demand, this case study examines consumers’ responses to newspaper articles on avian influenza, informally referred to as bird flu. The focus here is on the response to bird flu information in Italy as news about highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza (HPAI H5N1) unfolded in the period October 2004 through October 2006, beginning after reports of the first outbreaks in Southeast Asia and extending beyond the point at which outbreaks were reported in Western Europe. Estimated poultry demand, as influenced by the volume of newspaper reports on bird flu, reveals the magnitude and duration of newspaper articles’ impacts on consumers’ food choices. Larger numbers of bird flu...

Exploring Food Purchase Behavior of Low-Income Households: How Do They Economize?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Leibtag,   Ephraim S.; Kaufman,   Phillip R.
This report compares food purchases by U.S. households of different income levels and finds that low-income shoppers spend less on food purchases despite some evidence that they face generally higher purchase prices. Households can economize on food spending by purchasing more discounted products, favoring private-label (generic) products over brand, pursuing volume discounts, or settling for a less expensive product (for example, less lean beef within a product class.  A 1998 sample of food store purchase data shows that low-income households adhere to these practices when possible, but that the typically smaller size of food stores in urban and rural locations may sometimes preclude them from doing so.

Where and How: Low-Income Consumer Food Shopping Behavior
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Leibtag,   Ephraim S.; Lynch,   Kara.
This paper investigates the food purchase behavior of low-income households across two dimensions: the types of stores they choose to shop at and the frequency of coupon usage for food purchases.  Expenditure share analysis shows little difference between income groups in terms of expenditure shares across store types.  The main difference occurs between metro and non-metro households.  Since metro areas tend to have more grocery stores and fewer supercenters, while rural, non-metro areas tend to have more supercenters, the key result from this section is that non-metro households spend a greater share of their food budget at supercenter and warehouse club stores.  We then segment consumers into coupon users and nonusers in order to better understand...

This report provides a detailed description of the methodology used to construct ERS’s Quarterly Food-at-Home Price Database (Q-FAHPD). As the name suggest, these data provide quarterly observations on the mean price of 52 food categories for specific U.S. markets. We provide a description of the Nielsen Homescan data that was used to create this database, the methodology used to classify foods into food groups, how we determined the appropriate the level of aggregation (sub-regional markets) and our calculation of average prices for each food group. This report also contains an overview and summary of the resulting data.

Outlook for U.S. Retail Food Prices and Inflation in 2010 (PowerPoint)
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Leibtag,   Ephraim S.
As food and energy commodity prices surged in late 2007 and most of 2008, there was a renewed interest in updated estimates of the impact of these increases on retail food prices. The drop in commodity prices (September 2008- March 2009) leads to the same set of questions in the opposite direction. This presentation uses regression analysis to estimate how much of the change in commodity costs is passed through to retail prices and, just as important, estimate the time lag between commodity price changes and retail price changes across a number of food groups. The presenter will then focus on the outlook for food prices in 2010 given the results of the analysis described above.

On the Accuracy of Nielsen Homescan Data
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Einav,   Liran; Leibtag,   Ephraim S.; Nevo,   Aviv.
Researchers use Nielsen Homescan data, which provide detailed food-purchase information from a panel of U.S. households, to address a variety of important research topics. However, some question the credibility of the data since the data are self-recorded and the recording process is time-consuming. Matching purchase records from 2004 Homescan data with data obtained from a large grocery retailer, it is evident that quantities purchased are reported more accurately in Homescan than are prices. Many of the price differences may be driven by the way Nielsen imputes prices: when available, Nielsen uses store-level prices instead of the actual price paid by the household. There are also differences by household type in the tendency to make mistakes that are...

Can Food Stamps Do More to Improve Food Choices?  An Economic Perspective-Stretching the Food Stamp Dollar:  Regional Price Differences Affect Affordability of Food
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Leibtag,   Ephraim S.
Significant regional differences in food prices affect how far food stamp benefits can go toward enhancing the diet of low-income consumers in a given region. In regions where average food prices exceed the national average, food stamp benefits may not provide the same level of coverage as the same benefit would in below-average-price regions. This report measures average prices paid across U.S. regions. Results show that a household made up of a family of four in the East or West could spend $32-$48 more per month for a similar amount of food than the average U.S. household, whereas a household in the South and Midwest could spend $12-28 less per month than the average U.S. household.

Promoting Fruit and Vegetable Consumption:  Are Coupons More Effective Than Pure Price Discounts?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Dong,   Diansheng; Leibtag,   Ephraim S.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture administers food and nutrition assistance programs that promote fruit and vegetable consumption. But consumption remains relatively low among program recipients as well as among the general U.S. population. The perceived high cost of produce is often cited as a deterrent to more consumption. This study looks at coupons and price discounts, two methods of lowering the cost of fruits and vegetables, and uses household purchase data and a consumer demand model to examine each method. Coupons influence consumer behavior through a price-discount effect and an informational/advertising effect. Because of this dual effect, the use of a coupon to increase fruit and vegetable purchases may be more effective than a pure...

Autores: Berck,   Peter; Leibtag,   Ephraim S.; Villas-Boas,   Sofia Berto; Solis,   Alex.
Commodity prices have been rising at unprecedented rates over the last two years.  The primary objective of this paper is to assess if and how firms pass through upstream cost increases to final good prices.  First, we investigate what happens to the shelf prices (the regular prices) of goods that contain significant amounts of a commodity whose price has changed.  The objective is to document patterns of price rigidity depending on the share of the commodity in the final good that is sold to consumers.  For example, given an abnormal commodity price change in wheat, what happens to the shelf regular price of bread, wheat cereals, and other goods that contain wheat?  Commodity pass-through patterns for ready to eat cereal (smallest share of commodity in...

The Life Cycle - Permanent Income Hypotheses (LCPIH) suggests that the timing of an income payment or government transfer should have no effect on the expenditures of the recipient.  In this paper we test the LCPIH against a dynamic model of household consumption which predicts clustered food expenditure.  We use data from 7,013 households in fifty-two urban and peri-urban markets throughout the United States containing detailed daily expenditure data collected by ACNielsen Homescan for 2003.  Specifically, we examine aggregate food expenditure patterns, shopping trip patterns, and expenditure patterns across retail channels over calendar weeks, weekly seven day cycles, and days of the week.  Our main finding is that households in the lowest 25 percent of...

How Much Lower Are Prices at Discount Stores?  An Examination of Retail Food Prices
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Leibtag,   Ephraim S.; Barker,   Catherine; Dutko,   Paula.
Nontraditional stores, including mass merchandisers, supercenters, club warehouse stores, and dollar stores, have increased their food offerings over the past 15 years and often promote themselves as lower priced alternatives to traditional supermarkets. How much lower are food prices at these stores? In order to better understand nontraditional stores’ impact on the cost of food, ERS analysts evaluate food price differences between nontraditional and traditional stores at the national and market level using 2004-06 Nielsen Homescan data. Findings show that nontraditional retailers offer lower prices than traditional stores even after controlling for brand and package size. Comparisons of identical items, at the Universal Product Code (UPC) level, show an...

The Impact of Nontraditional Retailers on Retail Dairy Prices and the Dairy CPI
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Leibtag,   Ephraim S.
Over the past 10 years, the growth of nontraditional retail food outlets has been of the biggest changes in the retail food market landscape.  Nontraditional retailers have helped to increase the variety of shopping and food options available to consumers, and also have increased the amount of price variation in retail food markets.  The current CPI for food does not fully take into account the lower price option that a nontraditional retailer offers when it enters and expands in a given geographic market.  A significant difference exists between price change as measured using scanner data and the CPI estimate of price change, even for the relatively low food inflation period of 1998-2003 covered in this report.  The results of this study estimate that the...

INTERSTATE VARIATION IN WIC FOOD PACKAGE COSTS: THE ROLE OF FOOD PRICES, CASELOAD COMPOSITION, AND COST-CONTAINMENT PRACTICES

Food prices within States affect average monthly costs of State food benefits packages provided by the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) more than variations in WIC caseload composition do. In addition, cost-containment practices by State WIC agencies provide different levels of cost savings in different areas, which also contributes to interstate variation in benefits package costs. This study is one of the few to examine the degree to which food prices, caseloads, and cost containment practices influence costs of State WIC food benefits packages. Because few data exist on the actual food items that WIC participants purchase, the study used a scanner dataset of supermarket transactions and other sources to...

The Impact of Changing Retail Services on the Grocery Store Producer Price Index

Autores: Leibtag,   Ephraim S.
This article focuses on quality adjustment of the U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI)  for retail food stores. Within the retail trade sector, food stores make up 15.4% of the revenue generated in the sector.  This article outlines methods of quality adjustment and applies a direct adjustment technique to the PPI for grocery stores.  This subset of the PPI is unique in that it is one of the first indices for retail goods to use the retail margin (retail price - wholesale price) as a measure of the price of the products sold in a store.  This measure provides an estimate of the prices of the services provided by the retailers.  In this study I find that the Producer Price Index for food stores would be biased upward between 0.06 and 1.74 index points  if a...

Food stamp recipients, like other Americans, struggle with nutrition problems associated with choice of foods, as well as amounts. This series of Economic Information Bulletins compiles evidence to help answer the question of whether the Food Stamp Program can do more to improve the food choices of participants. It examines the role of affordability and price of healthful foods in influencing food choices and the likely success of any policy targeted at changing food choices through food stamp bonuses or restrictions. It also examines other approaches to changing food choices, including nutrition education and potential strategies drawn from behavioral economics literature. Meaningful improvements in the diets of food stamp recipients will likely depend on...

How Retail Beef and Bread Prices Respond to Changes in Ingredient and Input and Costs
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Roeger,   Edward; Leibtag,   Ephraim S.
The extent to which cost changes pass through a vertically organized production process depends on the value added by each producer in the chain as well as a number of other organizational and marketing factors at each stage of production. Using 36 years of monthly Bureau of Labor Statistics price indices data (1972-2008), we model pass-through behavior for beef and bread, two retail food items with different levels of processing. Both the farm-to-wholesale and wholesale-to-retail price responses are modeled to allow for the presence of structural breaks in the underlying long-term relationships between price series. Broad differences in price behavior are found not only between food categories (retail beef prices respond more to farm-price changes than do...

In this study we develop a model for pass-through behavior for two retail food items with different levels of processing, beef and bread, using 36 years of monthly Bureau of Labor Statistics price indices data (1972-2008).

Our results indicate that broad differences in price behavior exist not only between food categories but also across production level prices.  While farm to wholesale relationships...

COST PASS-THROUGH IN THE U.S. COFFEE INDUSTRY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Leibtag,   Ephraim S.; Nakamura,   Alice; Nakamura,   Emi; Zerom,   Dawit.
A rich data set of coffee prices and costs was used to determine to what extent changes in commodity costs affect manufacturer and retail prices. On average, a 10-cent increase in the cost of a pound of green coffee beans in a given quarter results in a 2-cent increase in manufacturer and retail prices in that quarter. If a cost change persists for several quarters, it will be incorporated into manufacturer prices approximately cent-forcent with the commodity-cost change. Given the substantial fixed costs and markups involved in coffee manufacturing, this translates into about a 3-percent change in retail prices for a 10-percent change in commodity prices. We do not find robust evidence that coffee prices respond more to increases than to decreases in costs.

Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Todd,   Jessica E.; Mancino,   Lisa; Leibtag,   Ephraim S.; Tripodo,   Christina.
The Quarterly Food-at-Home Price Database (QFAHPD) was developed to provide market-level food prices that can be used to study how prices affect food choices, intake, and health outcomes. This report presents a detailed description of the methodology used to construct the QFAHPD. The database, constructed from 1999-2006 Nielsen Homescan data, includes quarterly observations on the mean price of 52 food categories for 35 market groups covering the contiguous United States. Data from 2006 indicate that cross-market price variation can be as much as three to four times greater than annual food price inflation.
