Demand for local meat by US public schools: An EASI application to Iowa
Using the Exact Affine Stone Index (EASI) demand model and USDA Farm-to-School data on Iowa public schools, this paper provides the first set of estimates of public school demand for local beef, pork, and chicken in the United States. We find that public schools are more sensitive to price changes than conventional consumers, and chicken benefits more than beef and pork from an increase in school expenditure on the three types of meat. Using back-of-the-envelope calculations, we conclude that while the economic impact on rural economies is currently minor, it could potentially become significant as the percentage of schools purchasing local meat increases.
期刊介绍:
Food Policy is a multidisciplinary journal publishing original research and novel evidence on issues in the formulation, implementation, and evaluation of policies for the food sector in developing, transition, and advanced economies.
Our main focus is on the economic and social aspect of food policy, and we prioritize empirical studies informing international food policy debates. Provided that articles make a clear and explicit contribution to food policy debates of international interest, we consider papers from any of the social sciences. Papers from other disciplines (e.g., law) will be considered only if they provide a key policy contribution, and are written in a style which is accessible to a social science readership.
