European Review of Agricultural Economics, 1995, vol. 22, issue 3, 385-99

Abstract: This paper investigates the relationship between food consumption and economic development in 16 European countries. Differences in food diets are analysed using data on per capita calorie intake. Results provide a better knowledge of the dynamic evolution of consumption patterns in European countries, the existence of convergence towards a common diet and the adequacy of implementing common food policies in these countries.
