This dissertation consists of three independent papers on food economics concerning food consumption and nutrition intake, food market structure and promotion programs, and bearing acreage of perennial tree fruit. The first paper explores the link between human food consumption, human nutritional status and livestock health. A Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System is adopted with fourteen food equations. The results demonstrate that households' calorie and macronutrient intake from animal source foods decrease when their livestock are less healthy. The second paper evaluates the effectiveness of generic advertising with imperfectly competitive downstream markets. The theoretical and the empirical results show that the market power possessed by pear canners could reduce growers' net return from advertising. The third paper models the economic substitution among perennial tree fruit by including lagged prices and yields of multiple fruit species explicitly in the bearing acreage response model. A system of equations is estimated by generalized method of moments and the results demonstrate that the inclusion of substitutes provides a more complete model to predict producers' behavior. The price and substitution elasticities estimated suggest that bearing acreages are price inelastic and there is a significant substitution between crops.

Although encouraging people to eat more nutritiously can promote better health, most efforts by companies, health professionals, and even parents are disappointingly ineffective. Brian Wansink’s Marketing Nutrition focuses on why people eat the foods they do, and what can be done to improve their nutrition. Wansink argues that the true challenge in marketing nutrition lies in leveraging new tools of consumer psychology (which he specifically demonstrates) and by applying lessons from other products’ failures and successes. The key problem with marketing nutrition remains, after all, marketing.

Health, Food and Social Inequality investigates how vast amounts of consumer data are used by the food industry to enable the social ranking of products, food outlets and consumers themselves, and how this influences food consumption patterns. This book supplies a fresh social scientific perspective on the health consequences of poor diet. Shifting the focus from individual behaviour to the food supply and the way it is developed and marketed, it discusses what is known about the shaping of food behaviours by both social theory and psychology. Exploring how knowledge of social identities and health beliefs and behaviours are used by the food industry, Health, Food and Social Inequality outlines, for example, how commercial marketing firms supply food companies with information on where to locate snack and fast foods whilst also advising governments on where to site health services for those consuming such foods disproportionately. Giving a sociological underpinning to Nudge theory while simultaneously critiquing it in the context of diet and health, this book explores how social class is an often overlooked factor mediating both individual dietary practice and food marketing strategies. This innovative volume provides a detailed critique of marketing and food industry practices and places class at the centre of diet and health. It is suitable for scholars in the social sciences, public health and marketing.

In Essay One, "Demand for Perishable Foods: A Cost of Consumption Framework with Policy Implications", we challenge the convention of treating consumption and purchased quantities as identical even for food products that undergo substantial deterioration while in storage. We first prove a theorem that shows how decay processes can be incorporated into any existing demand system in a theoretically consistent way. Our method involves augmenting the prices in an existing neoclassical demand model with a function of shopping frequency and decay parameters. The augmented prices have the intuitively appealing interpretation of being 'consumption prices' which reflect the cost of consuming a unit of food. We apply this method to the Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System to estimate household-level demand for foods that vary by their degree of perishability. Included composite goods include 'fresh fruit', 'fresh vegetables', 'non-fresh vegetables', 'meat', and miscellaneous food 'other'. We are able to directly estimate the quality-adjusted decay rates that rationalize observed household demands. We ask, does our framework perform better at estimating perishable food demand than 'naive' models that ignore perishability? Because our framework nests the 'naive' model, we are able to conclude that our framework performs better. We argue that our framework is well-suited for studies that inform public health policies which attempt to improve diets through improving access.Essay Two, "Measuring Consumer-Level Quality-Adjusted Food Loss: A Demand System Approach", extends the model developed in essay one by accounting for 1. the endogeneity of six variables including five shopping frequencies and total expenditure, and 2. household heterogeneity. Household heterogeneity is introduced using demographic translating to account for theoretical consistency. Necessary parameter constraints for economic regularity, namely, adding-up, zero-degree demand homogeneity in prices and income, and Slutsky symmetry, are imposed on the system of translated demand equations. Because of the highly non-linear form of the demand system, control functions (cf. instrumental variables) are used. We use our model results to infer the quality-adjusted food waste that rationalizes observed household market behavior to be around 55%.Essay three, "Store-Format Choice: A Competing Risk Approach", introduces a novel model of food retail store choice. The time since the last shopping trip is central to our competing risk framework. When a household shops, their clock starts, ticking down the time until they shop again. At each tick, they choose to shop at 'competing' store formats or may choose not to shop at all. The hazard functions of these choices, which fully characterize shopping probability distributions, are jointly estimated. This approach has many advantages over the multinomial logit models which dominate the store-format choice literature. First, we use the information of when the household does not shop. Second, by construction, shopping timing is accounted for in a way that avoids any possibility of endogeneity. Third, our non-parametrically estimated household-specific baseline hazard functions can take virtually any functional form. Indeed, we find that household hazard functions are bimodal, with households feeling increasing pressure to shop at all store formats until a peak around 7-10 days, feeling decreasing pressure until a nadir around 15-20 days, and increasing pressure thereafter. The peak at 7-10 days suggests that weekly schedules and perishable food shelf-lives strongly impel households to shop. The richness of our framework allows us to draw many other conclusions.

Over three essays this project reviews social conditioning and the influence on consumer decision-making. Essay one analyzes health associations between fruit and average daily caloric intake. The relative impact is greater for food possessing unique lay belief associations. Essay two investigates ethical leadership in a social media context. The study primes hypocritical leadership and the impact on consumer perceptions of a company. Essay three studies outcomes to a CEO's response addressing damaging social media information about a company. Moderators reduce the effect of perceived unethical leadership. Implications on marketing policies are discussed.

The last 20 years have seen a burgeoning of social scientific and historical research on food. The field has drawn in experts to investigate topics such as: the way globalisation affects the food supply; what cookery books can (and cannot) tell us; changing understandings of famine; the social meanings of meals - and many more. Now sufficiently extensive to require a critical overview, this is the first handbook of specially commissioned essays to provide a tour d'horizon of this broad range of topics and disciplines. The editors have enlisted eminent researchers across the social sciences to illustrate the debates, concepts and analytic approaches of this widely diverse and dynamic field. This volume will be essential reading, a ready-to-hand reference book surveying the state of the art for anyone involved in, and actively concerned about research on the social, political, economic, psychological, geographic and historical aspects of food. It will cater for all who need to be informed of research that has been done and that is being done.
