摘要

地理塑造口味吗？本文利用1974年至2005年的法国家庭调查调查了口味的地理分布。我们提出了一种两步法：首先，我们使用结构需求系统来估计区域口味；然后，我们计算双方的口味差异，并将其与地理距离联系起来。1974年的研究结果提供了“味觉引力”的证据，也就是说，地理位置越近的地区，食物的味道越相似。到2005年，这种地理格局已基本消失。然而，品味并不是同质化的。地域差异依然存在，品味的差异是由社会文化的相似性而不是地理距离决定的。

Tastes, geography and culture

Does geography shape tastes? This paper investigates the geography of tastes using French household surveys from 1974 and 2005. We propose a two-step method: first, we estimate regional tastes using a structural demand system; then, we compute bilateral taste differences and link them to geographic distance. The 1974 results provide evidence of ‘gravity in taste’—that is, geographically closer regions have more similar food tastes. By 2005, this geographic pattern has largely disappeared. However, tastes are not homogenized. Regional diversity persists, with differences in taste determined by sociocultural similarity rather than geographic distance.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Urban Economics provides a focal point for the publication of research papers in the rapidly expanding field of urban economics. It publishes papers of great scholarly merit on a wide range of topics and employing a wide range of approaches to urban economics. The Journal welcomes papers that are theoretical or empirical, positive or normative. Although the Journal is not intended to be multidisciplinary, papers by noneconomists are welcome if they are of interest to economists. Brief Notes are also published if they lie within the purview of the Journal and if they contain new information, comment on published work, or new theoretical suggestions.
