| This paper is a first attempt to analyze whether convergence of food consumption between Eastern and Western Europe since the beginning of transition can be detected. The study refers to the 10 EU-associated Central and Eastern European Countries (CEECs) and the EU-15. If convergence is a fact, changes in EU food consumption could be a useful indicator for future food consumption patterns in the CEECs. With the end of the socialist era, prices and income have become major determinants of food consumption and the total per capita calorie consumption, as well as the calorie share of animal products, have declined in most CEECs.

For this purpose, households are classified by sociodemographic characteristics, and differences between food demand patterns of various household types are described using data of a Russian household survey of 1996. Russian food demand is econometrically estimated for seventeen food commodities belonging to five groups using a two-stage linear... |
