Data for Food Demand Analysis: Availability, Characteristics, Options

No 308074, Agricultural Economic Reports from United States Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service

Abstract: Demand analysts often devote less attention to selecting data series than econometric techniques, although data are equally important to the results. This report discusses the availability, characteristics, and derivation of time series for food consumption, food prices, food expenditures, and income for use in food demand analysis. It also shows how new series, which will provide consistent measures of quantity and price, can be constructed from available data.
