The Welfare Impact of New Products in the Barbados Laundry Soap and Detergent Market

Jeffrey James

Chapter 8 in Consumer Choice in the Third World, 1983, pp 135-154 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In the previous chapter we concluded, tentatively, that new products developed in advanced countries are likely to have inegalitarian effects when introduced in poor countries. But the evidence adduced in support of this argument was mainly indirect — drawn from existing studies of choice of technique.1 Studies addressed specifically to the question do not yet exist. As a result, some of the welfare effects described in the previous chapter have not been examined at all, while others have not been assessed on the basis of data obtained directly from consumers themselves.
