| This study presents the empirical results of estimating the household broiler meat expenditure pattern in the western region using the 1977-78 United States Department of Agriculture Nationwide Food Consumption Survey. The effects of assuming homoscedasticity and heteroscedasticity in the tobit model on resulting estimates are discussed in terms of estimated coefficients, marginal effects, and elasticities. Based on the strength of the sample data, the results suggest that specification of the homoscedastic model should be rejected in favor of the heteroscedastic model, implying that the validity of homoscedasticity should not be routinely accepted without testing when applying tobit procedure to analyze survey data. |

| The study identifies differences in consumer characteristics and the selection of the type of a retail outlet in pecan purchases. Within the framework of utility maximization, an empirical model is specified and estimated using multinomial logit. The estimation is based on data collected through a nationwide survey. Calculated marginal probabilities show the importance of age, household income, and household size among the important consumer characteristics that influence the selection of a retail outlet. Employment and the timing of pecan purchases also influence the use of a specific type of retail outlet. In particular, mail-order purchases are made by older persons with higher incomes and larger households in comparison to purchases at grocery stores... |

| The objective of this research was to analyze the demand patterns of Hispanic households for meats in comparison with other ethnic groups using data from the 1998 Consumer Expenditure Survey. A system of demand equations of the LinQuad form were estimated for ten meat products using an incomplete system of censored equations. Hispanic households showed a clear preference for beef. Price, income and household size elasticities were estimated for each meat product by ethnic group. The demand for ground beef was the most income inelastic product regardless of ethnicity. Household size had a positive effect on the probability of consuming a particular meat product but a negative effect on actual item expenditures. |

| Using multivariate regression on data composed of prices, produce characteristics, demographics, and interactions, this study investigates organic price premiums paid by U.S. consumers for fresh tomatoes and apples, two of the top organic produce sellers, and identifies factors explaining variation in price premiums. The econometric problem of each buyer having multiple records in the purchase data is addressed in the estimation procedure. |

| This study uses the 1987-88 U.S. Department of Agriculture Nationwide Food Consumption Survey data to analyze the impacts of income, prices, and selected socioeconomic characteristics on household consumption of fresh fruits. Results suggest that fresh fruits are considered economic necessities, with own prices significantly influencing consumption. Cross-price effects are generally weak and insignificant, but the number of adults in the age group 18-64 is an important determinant of household consumption of fresh fruits. While nutrition information and household savings have significant, positive influences on most fresh fruit consumption, the presence of a working wife has a significant and negative influence. |
