Previous research has demonstrated that benefit recipients decrease expenditures on, and consumption of, food throughout the benefit month. Using detailed grocery store scanner data, we ask two questions: whether cycling is due to a desire for variety that leads to within-month substitution across product quality, and whether cycling is driven by countercyclical retail pricing. We find that the decrease in food expenditures is largely driven by reductions in quantity, not quality, and that prices for foods purchased by benefit households vary pro-cyclically with demand, implying that households could save money by delaying their food purchases until later in the month. (JEL D12, I38)

Abstract Objectives Federal food assistance programs target low-income and nutritionally-vulnerable Americans, with the dual goals of reducing food insecurity and improving diet quality. Individuals on limited food budgets may face constraints on their ability to purchase healthy foods when their prices increase, which could mitigate the intended impact of federal feeding programs. To better understand the effect of food price changes on healthy food purchases, we use a laboratory-based grocery store experiment to estimate the own- and cross-price elasticity of foods among individuals participating in federal food assistance programs (participants) and those not participating in these programs (non-participants). We focus on eggs, which are rich in many important nutrients and can be a healthy part of a wide range of cultural food menus. Methods Participants (n = 40) and non-participants (n = 40) were recruited to participate in this study. Subjects were assigned a food budget based on the USDA Thrifty Food Plan, and were asked to purchase enough food for their families for a one week period using our laboratory-based grocery store. Questionnaires and body measurements were used to collect information on demographic characteristics, psychosocial factors, and body mass index. Mixed linear regression models were used to assess the relationship between food price changes and food purchases (price elasticity). Results Subjects in both groups decreased their egg purchases by 6.9–8.6% for every 10% increase in egg price, although no difference in price elasticity was observed between groups. For every 10% increase in the price of all non-egg foods, egg purchases increased by 3.3% among participants but not non-participants, and purchases for foods such as lean meats, low-fat dairy, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains decreased by up to 14% among both groups. Conclusions Subjects in both groups purchased fewer eggs when their price increased. When the price of non-egg foods increased, participants moderately increased their purchase of eggs, and subjects in both groups drastically decreased their purchase of many healthy foods. Efforts to emphasize healthy eating strategies on limited budgets will be especially important during times of food price increases. Funding Sources This research was funded by the Egg Nutrition Center/American Egg Board and USDA-ARS.

PurposeThis study was conducted to examine the effect of co-branding, a brand partnership tactic involving two or more brands, on consumer behavior within the sport industry. As such, the primary aim was to examine differences regarding consumers' perceptions of self-image congruence and perceived product quality when considering solo-branding and co-branding conditions. Further, under the co-branding condition, relationships among consumers' self-image congruence, perceived product quality, image fit, product evaluation and purchase intention were investigated.Design/methodology/approachA scenario-based quasi-experiment consisting of hypothetical co-branding initiatives between existing brands was conducted.FindingsResults from a repeated multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) indicated that consumers' symbolic and functional perceptions of co-branding as well as evaluations were statistically higher than in the solo-branding condition. Additionally, structural equation modeling indicated positive relationships between consumers' symbolic and functional perceptions, image fit, evaluation and behavior intention.Originality/valueThis study is one of the first papers to investigate the impact of co-branding on consumers within the sport industry and provides evidence of the positive impact of co-branding strategies on consumer behavior within the sport industry.

Purpose Individuals concerned about safety comprise a significant share of the consumer market today. This paper aims to provide the results of a study on when a front-of-package (FOP) claim about “no added negatives” can serve as a quality cue. Design/methodology/approach Four between-subjects experiments examine consumers’ quality perceptions in responses to the absence-focused claims and also identifies brand parity (Studies 1a and 1b) and the associated launch of inconsistent alternatives as moderators (Study 2) and investigate the extent to which the quality signaling value of absence-focused claims varies as a function of message regulatory focus (Study 3). Findings Research shows that a unique absence-focused claim indicates product quality (Studies 1a and 1b). However, there could be a cost in terms of reduced perceived quality when adding an inconsistent alternative to a brand (Study 2). Furthermore, consumers associate greater product quality with absence-focused FOP claims if an appeal is framed as prevention-focused rather than promotion-focused benefits (Study 3). Originality/value This study advances knowledge on the effects of front-of-package claims on consumer behavior and benefits marketers in determining effective front-of-package messages for product promotion.
