    The role of dietary information in women's whole milk and low-fat milk intakes (2004)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Science Ltd
    International journal of consumer studies 28 (2004), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1470-6431
    Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: This study examines the effects of dietary information on women's whole and low-fat milk intakes. The sample is 1928 female meal planners aged 20 years or over who provided information on their milk intake for 2 days in the 1994–96 Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals and who completed the 1994–96 Diet and Health Knowledge Survey in the follow-up interview. The nested Tobit model was used to handle the sequentially censored data. Women's dietary information contributed to reduced whole milk consumption and increased low-fat milk consumption indicating different effects on whole milk and low-fat milk consumption.

    A Model of Consumers' Risk Perceptions Toward Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone (rbGH): The Impact of Risk Characteristics (1999)

    Notes: This study estimates the effect risk characteristics, described as outrage factors by Hadden, have on consumers' risk perceptions toward the food-related biotechnology, recombinant bovine growth hormone (rbGH). The outrage factors applicable to milk from rbGH treated herds are involuntary risk exposure, unfamiliarity with the product's production process, unnatural product characteristics, lack of trust in regulator's ability to protectconsumers in the marketplace, and consumers' inability to distinguish milkfrom rbGH treated herds compared to milk from untreated herds. An empirical analysis of data from a national survey of household food shoppers reveals that outrage factors mediate risk perceptions. The results support the inclusion of outrage factors into the risk perception model for the rbGH product, as they add significantly to the explanatory power of the model and therefore reduce bias compared to a simpler model of attitudinal and demographic factors. The study indicates that outrage factors which have a significant impact on risk perceptions are the lack of trust in the FDA as afood-related information source, and perceiving no consumer benefits from farmers' use of rbGH. Communication strategies to reduce consumer risk perceptions therefore could utilize agencies perceived as more trustworthy and emphasize the benefits of rbGH use to consumers.

    Consumer Risk Perceptions Toward Agricultural Biotechnology, Self-Protection, and Food Demand: The Case of Milk in the United States (2003)
    350 Main Street , Malden , MA 02148 , USA , and 9600 Garsington Road , Oxford OX4 2DQ , UK . : Blackwell Publishing, Inc.

    Notes: This study is an econometric systems approach to modeling the factors and linkages affecting risk perceptions toward agricultural biotechnology, self-protection actions, and food demand. This model is applied to milk in the United States, but it can be adapted to other products as well as other categories of risk perceptions. The contribution of this formulation is the ability to examine how explanatory factors influence risk perceptions and whether they translate into behavior and ultimately what impact this has on aggregate markets. Hadden's outrage factors on heightening risk perceptions are among the factors examined. In particular, the article examines the role of labeling as a means of permitting informed consent to mitigate outrage factors. The effects of attitudinal, economic, and demographic factors on risk perceptions are also explored, as well as the linkage between risk perceptions, consumer behavior, and food demand. Because risk perceptions and self-protection actions are categorical variables and demand is a continuous variable, the model is estimated as a two-stage mixed system with a covariance correction procedure suggested by Amemiya. The findings indicate that it is the availability of labeling, not the price difference, between that labeled milk and milk produced with recombinant bovine Somatotropin (rbST) that significantly affects consumer's selection of rbST-free milk. The results indicate that greater availability of labeled milk would not only significantly increase the proportion of consumers who purchased labeled milk, its availability would also reduce the perception of risk associated with rbST, whether consumers purchase it or not. In other words, availability of rbST-free milk translates into lower risk perceptions toward milk produced with rbST.

    A tale of three cities: Large, medium, and small consumer markets compared (1989)
    Springer
    Journal of consumer policy 12 (1989), S. 451-463

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Welche Größe von Konsumgütermärkten führt zur höchsten Wohlfahrt von Konsumenten? Das ist die generelle Frage, der dieser Beitrag durch die Analyse von Preis-Qualitäts-Zusammenhängen nachgeht, die sich in einer Großstadt (Minneapolis), einer mittleren (Ann Arbor, Michigan) und einer Kleinstadt (Ithaca, New York) ergeben. Im einzelnen wird untersucht, (a) wie gut ein Verbraucher auf einem einzelnen Markt (potentiell) abschneiden kann, (b) wie hoch Preis und Qualität korrelieren, (c) wie schlecht ein Verbraucher auf einem einzelnen Markt (potentiell) abschneiden kann, (d) wie gut ein durchschnittlicher Verbraucher abschneidet und (e) wie groß die jeweilige Wahlfreiheit auf Konsumgütermärkten unterschiedlicher Größe ist, und zwar sowohl hinsichtlich der Anzahl der zur Wahl stehenden Produktvarianten wie auch hinsichtlich der Anzahl der Geschäfte. Die Ergebnisse dieser Pilotstudie zeigen zwar kleinere Unterschiede als erwartet, bekräftigen insgesamt aber die Beobachtung, daß kleinere Märkte effizienter sind. Die Analyse bestätigt den enttäuschenden Befund anderer Studien, denen zufolge die meisten Verbrauchermärkte “chaotisch” sind und vielen Verbrauchern viel von ihrer Kaufkraft rauben.
    Notes: Abstract In what size consumer markets does the consumer fare best — those of large, medium-sized, or small cities/towns? This is the general question that this article seeks to answer through analysis of price-quality data pertaining to Minneapolis (a large city), Ann Arbor, MI, and Ithaca, NY (a small town). While differences were smaller than expected, limited evidence from this pilot study support the notion that small markets are most efficient. At the same time the analysis confirms others' findings that most consumer markets are chaotic.
