Revisiting Cheap Talk with New Evidence from a Field Experiment
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Silva,
Andres; Nayga,
Rodolfo M., Jr.; Campbell,
Benjamin L.; Park,
John L.
We assess the reduction of hypothetical bias in consumers’ willingness to pay (WTP) for products by applying a generic, short,
and neutral cheap talk script in a retail setting. Using an open-ended elicitation mechanism with non-hypothetical, hypothetical,
and hypothetical with cheap talk treatments, our results indicate that the hypothetical WTP values are higher than the
nonhypothetical values, but the hypothetical with cheap talk values are not significantly different from non-hypothetical estimates.

A.M.; Nayga,
Rodolfo M., Jr.; Toensmeyer,
Ulrich C.
This study illustrates the differences in empirical results due to data measurements and estimating procedures when applying the
single index market model in agriculture. Gross and net return betas along with systematic and unsystematic risk proportions are
estimated and found to be different. The stochastic coefficients model is used to show the difference in beta-risk estimates
compared with the traditional fixed coefficients OLS procedure. A third estimating technique, weighted least squares/Prais
Winsten method, is also proposed.

Consumption of Home-Delivered Foods: Results from an Exploratory Survey
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Nayga,
Rodolfo M., Jr.; Farooq,
Zafar.
This study examines the effect of various factors on the decision to consume home-delivered foods. The results of the study
suggest that the decision to order food for home delivery is determined by gender, price consciousness, number of adults and
children in the household, employment status, education level, ownership of microwave oven and, to some extent race, age and
income. Specifically, the results suggest that less price-conscious, employed, higher-educated, white males within the 25-34 age
group, in a household with a microwave oven, with smaller number of adults, but with children are more likely to purchase
home-delivered food that others.

This study analyzes U.S. consumers' valuation of five types of genetically modified food labels on a cornflakes cereal product.
Using a nationwide survey and choice-modeling framework, results indicate that consumers value the label "contains no
genetically modified corn" the most with a mean willingness to pay of 20 more cents, followed by "USDA approved genetically
modified corn" with a mean willingness to pay of 9 more cents, and "corn genetically modified to reduce pesticide residues in
your food" with a mean willingness to pay of 7 more cents. Results also suggest that consumers negatively value the labels

This study examines consumer's willingness to consume different types of a nutritionally enhanced food product (i.e., breakfast
cereal with calcium, omega fatty acids, or anti-oxidants) derived from grains genetically modified using two types of
technologies: plant-to-plant gene transfer technology and animal-to plant gene transfer technology. Findings indicate a majority of
the respondents are willing or somewhat willing to consume the three types of nutritionally enhanced genetically modified
breakfast cereal, but are less willing if the genetically modified product is derived from animal-to-plant gene transfer technology
than from plant-to-plant gene transfer technology. However, the results of the ordered probit models suggest there are groups of...

TOWARD AN UNDERSTANDING OF CONSUMERS' PERCEPTIONS OF FOOD LABELS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Nayga,
Rodolfo M., Jr.
This study examines the factors that influence consumers’ perceptions or beliefs about food labels. The results indicate that
health and diet related attitudes, special diet status, perceived importance of product attributes like nutrition and ease of
preparation, race, gender, income, and body mass index are important factors affecting consumers’ perceptions and beliefs about
label use. Understanding the type of consumers who have these perceptions and beliefs as well as the factors that influence these
beliefs and perceptions is crucial for designing effective marketing and nutrition education campaigns.

Rodolfo M., Jr.; Siebert,
John W.
Detailed information on firm level food safety costs is reported. Survey data for small and very small meat processors are
modeled. Economies of scale in implementing Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) systems are investigated.
Results indicate that even after controlling for scale, ver small plants incur higher compliance costs. Diseconomies of scope are
assessed using the probability and number of products discontinued due to HACCP. Such "partial exit" is positively related to
the current range of items produced and the need for facility modification. However, no evidence is found for higher levels of
partial exit in very small plants.

This paper aims to explore the socio-economic profiles of the nutrition label users and focuses on seven key nutrients: calories,
calories from fat, total fat, trans fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium. The data are from National Health and Nutrition
Examination Survey (NHANES) 2005-2006 and Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals (CSFII) 1994-96. Similar
conclusions are drawn from both data sets: those consumers who are older, better educated, higher income, female, and have
higher nutrition knowledge will have higher probability to use nutrition labels; those consumers who are in larger size families
and being either Hispanic or black have lower probability of using nutrition labels.

Rodolfo M., Jr.
The demand for functional foods has increased notably in recent years due to growing consumer interest in diet and health issues.
Currently, the food industry is introducing many types of new food products with functional attributes. Consequently,
cannibalization is a critical issue for firms that offer multiple products within a certain product category. The identification and
assessment of cannibalization are integral factors when making strategic decisions about new product introductions. Using scanner
data from Information Resources, Inc. (IRI), pertaining to a particular functional food, namely a phytosterol-enriched product for
orange juice, we find that no cannibalization effects exist with respect to its introduction. We also provide estimates of...

Rodolfo M., Jr.
The relationship between nutrition knowledge and consumers’ food behavior has been debated for years. This may be partially
attributed to the difficulty introduce by endogeneity of nutrition knowledge in econometric modeling. Using grass-fed beef as a
vehicle, this paper investigates the impacts of consumers’ nutrition knowledge on their willingness to pay by accommodating the
endogeneity problem using instrumental variable approach. Our results suggest that consumers’ nutrition knowledge significantly
influences their willingness to pay for grass-fed beef. Gender and education are influential factors of consumers’ nutrition
knowledge level.

Using state-level data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, we investigate the effects of household
food-away-from-home and food-at-home expenditures on overweight rates, obesity rates, and combined rates. Our random effects
model estimates suggest that food-away-from-home expenditures are positively related to obesity and combined rates, while
food-at-home expenditures are negatively related to obesity and combined rates. However, the magnitudes of these effects, while
statistically significant, are relatively small. Both food-at-home and food-away-from-home expenditures do not significantly
influence overweight rates.

The effects of socioeconomic and demographic factors on the consumption of food energy, protein, vitamin A, vitamin C,
thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, calcium, phosphorus, and iron are examined. Socioeconomic and demographic factors analyzed are
urbanization, region, race, ethnicity, sex, employment status, food stamp participation, household size, weight, height, age, and
income. Several of these factors significantly affect consumption of certain nutrients. Income is an important factor affecting
the consumption of vitamin A, vitamin C, and calcium. Income elasticities are relatively small at low income levels. For
example, income elasticities range from 0.016 for calcium to 0.123 for vitamin C at an income level of $20,000.

Small smoked and processed meat manufacturers constitute a unique cottage industry in Texas. This paper assesses ways for such
firms to improve their financial performance through better marketing strategies. The results indicate that, on average, small firms
tend to be the most profitable. This is true whether size is measured in terms of dollars, pounds, or number of employees. The
more profitable firms tend to be those that are located in rural areas or in shopping centers; those that make the majority of their
sales at their own stores; those that do less of their own distribution; and those that emphasize fresh meat sales and de-emphasize
jerky sales.

Nutritional value is an important attribute of foods whose benefits can only be experienced by repetitive consumption in long run.
Consumers’ knowledge about the importance and usefulness of specific nutrients in a food product may influence their subjective
expectation of the product’s health benefits which in turn is translated into their perception of the product’s value. At the same
time, the sensory characteristics of food products affect consumers’ immediate consumption gratification. This study makes a
unique contribution to the literature by exploring the roles that nutrition knowledge and sensory evaluation play in shaping
consumers’ pasture-fed beef purchasing behavior through economic experiments. Our results suggest that beef products’ sensory...

In this paper two types of experimental auctions (endowment and full bidding) are used to elicit consumer preferences towards
different labels providing information on animal welfare practices. The three types of labeling schemes evaluated are the
comprehensive “animal welfare label”, the “good animal housing”, and the “good human-animal relation and transport
conditions”. Our results suggest that there are no statistically significant differences in the elicited values across labelling
schemes. However, there are clear differences across auction types. Bids elicited from auctions in which participants were
endowed with the product are higher than those from auctions in which participants had to fully bid for the product.

We report the result of experiments designed to assess the effect of initial endowments on willingness to pay values elicited from

that the direction of the endowment effect generally depends on the number of endowed units of the conventional product that
subjects are willing to give up in exchange for units of the upgraded product. The endowment effect is “reverse” when the number
of units that participants are willing to give up is lower or equal to the number of remaining endowed units. However, we

graders in a public school has an effect on obesity rates among younger grades. We use a panel dataset with obesity prevalence
measured at the grade level. Our data are from Arkansas public schools. Results provide evidence that changes in the obesity
prevalence at the highest grade are associated with changes in obesity prevalence at younger grades. The magnitude of the peer
effect depends on the type of school, and we find statistically significant peer effects in both elementary and high schools but not
in middle schools. These effects are also larger in high schools than in elementary schools. We use falsification tests to provide...

Obesity Rates in OECD Countries: An International Perspective

Maria L.; Nayga,
Rodolfo M., Jr.
Obesity is a growing concern. New World Health Organization (WHO) figures indicate that obesity is spreading around the world
as a "global epidemic." According to the WHO, there are more people suffering overweight related problems than malnutrition.
Globally there are more than 1 billion adults who are overweight and at least 300 million of them are clinically obese, while 800
million suffer malnutrition (WHO 2004). The body mass index (BMI) is a common and accepted measure to report obesity rates
(see WHO 1997). BMI is measured as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. Recommended BMI levels are
generally between a numerical value of 20 and 25. An individual with a BMI between 25 and 30 is considered overweight, while
an individual with...

Recent Developments in Food Retailing in the United States and Australia
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Nayga,
Rodolfo M., Jr.; Riethmuller,
Paul C.
The food retailing sectors of the United States and Australia are large industries that are increasingly driven by consumer needs
and wants. Both industries are changing to keep pace with social and economic developments. The premises are getting larger and
one-stop shopping is becoming more common. The rationing of shelf spare has become an issue. Information technology is
providing stores with better information on product movement and sales performance. There is a common movement away from
city centres to affluent suburban centres. In Australia, the retailing industry is concentrated in fewer owners than in the US. Future
research on retail concentration, trade with processors, and international competitiveness would be worthwhile.

The aim of this article is to evaluate Italian consumers’ acceptance and willingness to purchase GM foods based on the type of
benefit (input vs output trait) and product (plant based vs animal based). Two surveys were administered in two consecutive years
(2004 and 2005) and the data used to test for possible changes in consumer acceptance. The results of a multinomial logit analysis
suggest that on average consumer acceptance for plant-based GM food was higher in 2005. This study confirmed the key role of
information strategies to consumers, with the most relevant results being the role distorted information play in raising the
consumer’s level of fear and perceived risk. Respondents also place a higher level of confidence on scientists who are generally...

This paper proposes the use of multi-unit auctions in studying consumers’ willingness to pay (WTP) for food products in a
multi-unit shopping scenario. We show how this method can overcome the limitations of single-unit experimental auctions in
obtaining useful information related to WTP for not just the first unit but also subsequent units of a product, the demand curve,
consumer surplus, the determinants of consumers’ WTP for each auctioned unit, and the effect of potential price discount

This study examines the impact of consumers'’ use of food labels on selected nutrient intakes of Americans. Endogenous
switching regression techniques are employed to control for heterogeneity in the label use decision. When the nutrient intakes of
label users and the expected nutrient intakes of label users in the absence of labels are compared, food label use decreases
individuals'’ average daily intakes of calories from total fat and saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium by 6.90%, 2.10%, 67.60
milligrams, and 29.58 milligrams, respectively. In addition, consumer nutrition label use increases average daily fiber intake by

New Jersey is very much like many other states in the northeastern region of the United States. On the other hand, it is unique in
a number of ways. New Jersey is characterized by (1) a large and affluent consumer base, (2) access to major ports and air
transportation facilities which facilitates foreign imports and exports, and (3) large food manufacturing, retail and service sectors.
New Jersey's food wholesale sector is therefore an important economic sector with strong potential for future growth. Food
wholesalers can provide stable high-paying jobs in an economy still recovering from the 1989-92 recession. Limited knowledge
of the challenges facing this sector may hinder its potential growth and development. Given the implications that could be...

This paper focuses on estimating consumers' willingness to pay for and willingness to accept irradiated food using a
non-hypothetical experiment utilizing real food products (i.e., irradiated ground beef), real cash, and actual exchange in a market
setting. Single-bounded and one and one-half bounded models are developed using dichotomous choice contingent valuation
experiments. Our results indicate that average willingness to pay values range from 75.43 to 78.51 cents per pound while average
willingness to accept values range from 69.49 to 81.63 cents per pound of irradiated ground beef.

Willingness to pay (WTP) estimates for novel products are needed to assess consumers' valuation of these products as well as for
product adoption and optimal pricing strategies. Using experiments in a retail setting, we compare hypothetical and
non-hypothetical WTP values between a Becker-DeGroot-Marshak (BDM) auction mechanism and conjoint analysis. Our results
suggest that the auction WTP values are higher than conjoint analysis WTP values. Moreover, the hypothetical WTP values are
higher than the non-hypothetical WTP values in both elicitation mechanisms.

region, wife's age, and income are important determinants of expenditures on food prepared at home. A wife's education and
participation in the labor force, on the other hand, affect expenditures on prepared food and food away from home. The impact of
both these factors is greater on food away from home than on prepared food expenditures.

The aim of the paper is to assess consumers’ willingness to pay (WTP) for a local food produced in a less-favoured area in the
Aragon region (Spain). In particular, we examine whether consumers value lamb meat products (lamb and suckling lamb) labelled
as “Ojinegra from Teruel”, traditionally produced in these area. We use a nonhypothetical experimental auction to elicit Spanish
consumers’ WTP for “Ojinegra from Teruel” labelled lamb products. Results show that consumers are willing to pay a positive

We assessed the consumer welfare effects of two generic food miles labels: carbon dioxide (CO2) emission label and number of
miles label. Using data from a choice experiment, our results generally suggest that a mandatory labeling policy for either type of
label would have a positive welfare effect on both informed and uninformed consumers. However, a label informing consumers
about the number of miles the food product has travelled provides greater positive welfare effects than a label informing
consumers about the amount of CO2 emission.

those who have a higher perception of the healthfulness of their diet are more likely to use nutritional information on packages
than others. Household size, race, employment status, urbanization, region, age, and income are also significant factors.

The leading problems for food manufacturers are related to regulation, taxation, economic development, and high business costs.
For food wholesalers the leading problems are transportation, regulation, labor quality, training and education, and public
relations. Food retailers cite litigation and liability, high business costs, regulation, and insurance costs as leading problems. For
food service firms, regulation, licensing and permits, labor quality and costs, and high business costs are the most pressing
problems. Policy recommendations for improving the business climate are provided.

Consumer spending at full-service and fast food restaurants will continue to grow over the remainder of this decade and the next.
However, the larger increase is predicted to occur at full-service restaurants. Simulations assuming modest growth in household
income plus expected demographic developments show that per capita spending could rise by 18 percent at full-service restaurants
and by 6 percent for fast food between 2000 and 2020. The assumed assumed increase in income alone causes such spending to
rise by almost 15 percent and 7 percent at full-service and fast food restaurants, respectively. The increasing proportion of
households containing a single person or multiple adults without live-at-home children will cause per person spending to rise by...

obesity using national panel study of income dynamic (PSID) data. A triangular system of equations is derived and estimated
under parametric and semi-parametric model settings. The performances of the two modeling strategies are compared using
predictive ability measures with the aid of bootstrap method. Test results suggest relatively better performance of the
semi-parametric model than parametric model. Nevertheless, the comparison of the estimates from both parametric and
semi-parametric estimation indicates no dramatic changes in our findings. Our results do not suggest significant impacts of PCG’s
labor force participation...

Poor diet and inactivity are key factors for the high incidence of obesity among children in US. Using household production
theory, we derive the demand for children's health and apply cross-section and pseudo-panel techniques. FAFH has negative
impact on children's HEI in both analysis and significant in cross-section analysis.

We test whether the use of an honesty priming task from the social psychology literature can help mitigate hypothetical bias in
stated preference choice experiments (CE). Using a between-sample design, we conducted experiments with five treatments: (1)
hypothetical CE without cognitive task, (2) hypothetical CE with cheap talk script, (3) hypothetical CE with neutral priming task,
(4) hypothetical CE with honesty priming task, and (5) non-hypothetical CE. Results generally suggest that marginal willingness
to pay estimates from treatment 4 where subjects are given honesty priming task before the choice experiment are not statistically
different from marginal valuations from treatment 5 where subjects are in a non-hypothetical choice experiment. Values from...

Autores: Nayga,

Andres.
We examine how people might evaluate a product with novel attribute, given various kinds of risk information. Using a product
with healthful benefits, we assess subjects'’ willingness to pay given various kinds of health risk information conveying reduced
health risks, life tradeoffs, and ambiguity. Four treatments in separate non-hypothetical experimental auctions are used to elicit
willingness to pay values. Results suggest that willingness to pay vary across the groups that receive differing risk information.
Specifically, willingness to pay was higher for the group that was given clear risk information and questions related to life
tradeoffs than for the group given ambiguous risk information. Willingness to pay was lowest for the group that was...

Rodolfo M., Jr.
Over the last several years, there has been an increase of several chronic diseases that are linked to dietary and lifestyle factors.
Obesity, especially, is rising at an alarming rate in several countries. Due in part to increasing diet related health problems caused,
among others, by obesity, nutritional labelling has been regarded as an important topic mainly because it can provide consumers
with nutritional information that can be used to make informed and healthier food choices. A number of studies have focused on
the empirical perspective of nutritional food label use. None of these studies, however, have focused on developing a theoretical
economic model that would adequately describe nutritional food label use based on a utility theoretic...

HEALTH KNOWLEDGE AND CONSUMER USE OF NUTRITIONAL LABELS: THE ISSUE
REVISITED

Oral, Jr.
The role of health knowledge in consumer use of nutritional labels on food packages is explored using data from the 1995 Diet
and Health Knowledge Survey. Two types of label use models, a binary choice label use model and a level of label use model,
are employed with particular attention given to the endogeneity of health knowledge. The binary choice model is concerned with
factors affecting the probability of label use. The level of label use model deals with factors affecting the number of food
products in which label use occurred. The results show that health knowledge has a significant role in increasing label use.

Autores: Nayga,
Rodolfo M., Jr.
This study examines the various factors affecting household expenditure on fresh and processed fruit and vegetables in the U.S.
using the 1992 Consumer Expenditure Survey. Empirical results suggest that higher income, better educated, larger, and older
households spend more on fresh and processed fruit and vegetables than do other households. Seasonal and regional variations are
also evident.

MEASURING U.S. CONSUMER PREFERENCES FOR GENETICALLY MODIFIED FOODS
USING CHOICE MODELING EXPERIMENTS: THE ROLE OF PRICE, PRODUCT BENEFITS

Food biotechnology promises to deliver a wide range of enhanced consumer benefits. This study models consumer's willingness
to trade-off the potential risks of GM foods with the possibility of extracting significant benefits. The results of the choice
modeling experiments reflect how different attributes of price, product benefits, and technology influence consumer demand for
genetically modified food products. The results suggest that direct health, environmental, and production related benefits have a
positive effect on choice. The results also generally show that genetic modification is viewed negatively, with use of bacterium
and animal based genetic modification being viewed more negatively than the use of plant based genetic modification.

Arsen; Nichols,
John P.
This study examines consumer willingness to pay for irradiated beef products. About 58 percent of the respondents are willing to
pay a premium for irradiated beef. An ordered probit with sample selection model was estimated. Standard errors of the marginal
effects of the ordered probit model were estimated using the bootstrap method. Our findings suggest that females and those who
think that improper handling contributes to food poisoning are more likely to pay a premium of 50 cents per pound of irradiated
beef than others. Those who trust the irradiation technology are also more likely to pay a premium of between 5 to 25 cents per
pound for irradiated beef. Supply chain implications are discussed.

Food away from home is recognized as one of the reasons behind recent overweight and obesity surge. The relationship between
Body Mass Index and the distributional effects of food consumed at home and away from home at different levels of aggregation,
along with demographic profile covariates are modeled. Demographic variables have the expected effects on BMI established by
other studies. Food away from home has a significant positive effect on BMI. The effects of food away from home split into foods
at Full- and Quick-service restaurants also affect BMI in the predicted way, with the latter effect being disproportionately larger.
Lunch away from home has huge positive effect on BMI.
