| Only a handful of studies have estimated organic food demand. They all focus on specific food submarkets assuming separability from other food consumption. However, consumers typically associate attributes such as e.g. healthiness and environment friendliness with organic variants of most types of food. If such general organic attributes are important for consumer behaviour then separability may not hold. In this paper we utilize a unique Danish micro panel where all food demand is registered on a disaggregated level with an organic/non-organic indicator to estimate a general food demand system with organic variants. We clearly reject the usual separability assumption and find that the behaviour of Danish consumers is consistent with them perceiving such... |

| Most studies of organic food demand are based on questionairs focussing on buying motives. Only a handful of studies estimate organic food demand and these all focus on food submarkets and must assume separability of the organic/non-oragnic nest of analysed food from other food submarkets. The soundness of this separability assumption may nevertheless be questioned since general attributes such as animal welfare and environmental effects are cited as buying motives for organic variants irrespective of food type in most surveys. The assumption of separabilety of nests of organic/non-oragnic variants of foods has, however, not been tested empirically. In this paper we exploit unique Danish micro level data where all food demand has been registered on a... |

| We analyse the consumption of organic foods in Denmark in the late 1990s. The aim of our study is to identify the influence of price premiums on buying propensity. The methodological approach is econometric estimation based on four-weekly observations of purchases of organic and conventional dairy products. We apply the AIDS demand system and estimate dynamic as well as static specifications, homothetic as well as nonhomothetic specifications, and furthermore specifications with and without trends. The preferred model is a homothetic, static model with a linear trend. The price elasticities estimated in our study are higher than those estimated in other studies on food demand. In the end of the paper, we outline our current research on organic foods. |

| The Danish market for organic foods is especially well suited for consumer analyses because it is relatively mature, meaning that it does not suffer seriously from the supply shortages and barriers which dominate most of the markets outside Denmark. The well-functioning Danish market makes it possible to collect and analyse reliable data on purchases. Our study distinguishes itself by being based on observations of stated as well as actual purchasing behaviour of a large number of organic as well as conventional foods. The project applies information at the individual household level (panel data), which makes possible a detailed and informative approach. The panel data were provided by a marketing research company. In addition, the modelling is supported... |

| We present a project aiming at estimating the willingness to pay for organic foods through panel data and a survey. The panel data is based on weekly reporting of household purchases by 2000 Danish households with information on their demographic and socio-economic characteristics. Detailed information on organic foods exist from 1997. A questionnaire asking consumers to distinguish and rank various food attributes will be sent out to all households in the sample in June 2002. For survey purposes, organic foods are defined as products carrying the Danish state label guaranteeing public control and certification of organic production. The food product attributes include environmental concerns, animal welfare, and food safety (health concerns). Here we... |

However, consumers typically associate attributes such as e.g. healthiness and environment friendliness with organic variants of most types of food. If such general organic attributes are important for consumer behaviour then separability may not hold and what could be termed organic crowding out might result.
