Abstract

Abstract We pair IRI household purchase records with Nielsen TDLinx data on the retail food environment to investigate the associations between retail market structure and Americans’ adherence to the Dietary Guidelines. We focus specifically on fruit and vegetable consumption, as proxied by purchases. Controlling for various household characteristics, we find that increased market concentration is associated with lower produce consumption and weaker adherence to recommendations. We also find a number of small but significant associations with respect to the presence of nontraditional retail formats.

饮食建议依从性与食品零售市场结构:有联系吗?

摘要我们将IRI家庭购买记录与尼尔森TDLinx零售食品环境数据进行配对，以调查零售市场结构与美国人遵守膳食指南之间的关系。我们特别关注水果和蔬菜的消费，以购买为代表。控制各种家庭特征，我们发现增加的市场集中度与较低的农产品消费和较弱的遵守建议。我们还发现，在非传统零售业态的存在方面，存在一些虽小但意义重大的关联。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Agricultural & Food Industrial Organization (JAFIO) is a unique forum for empirical and theoretical research in industrial organization with a special focus on agricultural and food industries worldwide. As concentration, industrialization, and globalization continue to reshape horizontal and vertical relationships within the food supply chain, agricultural economists are revising both their views of traditional markets as well as their tools of analysis. At the core of this revision are strategic interactions between principals and agents, strategic interdependence between rival firms, and strategic trade policy between competing nations, all in a setting plagued by incomplete and/or imperfect information structures. Add to that biotechnology, electronic commerce, as well as the shift in focus from raw agricultural commodities to branded products, and the conclusion is that a "new" agricultural economics is needed for an increasingly complex "new" agriculture.
