Calculations of societal costs underweight, overweight and obesity have generally failed to include the value utility reductions, associated with deviations from normal weight. To remedy this, monetary compensation needed offset welfare loss being overweight, or obese, according World Health Organizations standards, is estimated. For this purpose, compensating income variation (CIV) method applied individual-level data an Icelandic health lifestyle survey carried out in 2007, 2009, 2012,...
This article examines seafood consumption in France by analyzing household demand for five categories: fresh salmon, frozen Salmonidae, cod, whitefish, and all other seafood. To this end, an infrequency of purchase model is applied to almost ideal system. First, a negative binomial count data with theory-consistent homogeneity symmetry restrictions used estimate frequency. Second, system adjusted the probability relationship between frequencies quantities used. While price elasticities from...
Within the vast body of literature on relationship between mental disorders and life satisfaction, no satisfactory treatment has been proposed to deal with bidirectional two.We estimate causal effect depression anxiety satisfaction by applying an instrumental-variable regression approach Household, Income Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) survey.Our identification strategy exploits regional variation tendency diagnose anxiety, while also using individual-level panel-data method.Our...
The quantity purchased in a period is the result of two decisions: frequency purchase and average on each occasion. We introduce habit formation into demand systems modelling these decisions. An econometric model estimated by Bayesian methods. data generating processes decisions are assumed to follow, respectively, multivariate Poisson log-normal distribution gamma distribution. estimate using French scanner for purchases fish. results suggest that habits frequencies important, while...
In the standard single-site travel cost model, it is assumed that time spent on-site exogenous. This assumption results in a willingness to pay (WTP) for of zero, which may be less realistic many urban parks are frequently visited by local residents. We develop model where visitor simultaneously chooses number visits and how much spend on-site. this WTP estimate includes price trip Next, we two-part hurdle with non-zero correlation between trips use data gathered an park Iceland model. The...
Understanding the frequencies of purchase and average purchased quantities is important for marketing strategies such as loss-leader pricing strategy. We develop a framework analysing demand system incorporating both these dimensions show how results can be used to formulate profitable large food retailers. In our microeconomic model, total purchases are determined by two systems; one conditional on positive frequencies. An econometric model was developed estimate systems Bayesian estimation...

We investigated the purchases of salmon sold under Label Rouge quality label in France. A flexible infrequency model was estimated using French scanner data. The results show that consumers’ perceptions differ substantially between fresh labeled as and other confirm product differentiation. Furthermore, consumers neither reduce consumption frequency nor switches to types fish when price increases. However, total sales will be reduced average consumer is an older middle-class person from...
