Última Do Food Prices Affect Food Security? Evidence from the CPS 2002-2006 AgEcon Gregory, Christian A.; Coleman-Jensen, Alisha. In this paper, we estimate the effect of food prices on food insecurity for SNAP recipients using data from the Current Population Survey and the recently published Quarterly Food At Home Price Database. We form a local food price index based on amounts of food for a household of four as established by the Thrifty Food Plan. We use an econometric model that accounts for the endogeneity of SNAP receipt to food insecurity and for household-level unobservables. We find that the average effect of food prices on the probability of food insecurity is positive and significant: an increase of one standard deviation in the price of our food basket is associated with an increase in food insecurity of between 1.3 and 2 percentage points for SNAP households.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) cost Americans hundreds in billions of dollars. High cholesterol levels, which are closely related to diet habits, are a major contributor to CVD. In this paper we study whether changes in food prices are related to cholesterol levels and whether taxes or subsidies of particular foods would be effective in lowering cholesterol levels and, consequently, CVD costs. We find that prices of vegetables, processed foods, and whole milk and whole grains significantly affect the blood cholesterol levels. Having analyzed the costs and benefits of government interventions, we find that a subsidy of vegetables and whole grains would be the most efficient way to reduce CVD expenditures.

Ano: 2011 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/103566 Does More Cooking Mean Better Eating? Estimating the relationship between time spent in food preparation and diet quality AgEcon Mancino, Lisa; Gregory, Christian A.. In this study, we use a unique dataset designed by researchers at the University of Chicago and collected by Mathematica Policy Research to investigate whether there is a significant correlation between diet quality and time spent preparing food. Overall, our results indicate that, when controlling for unobserved factors that may affect both preparation time and diet quality, time spent in food preparation influences diet quality only for obese persons. However, the improvements in diet quality are minimal. Our results also indicate that foods eaten away from home play an important role in understanding the effects of time spent in food preparation on food away from home.
