Using Family Expenditure Survey data for five survey years over the period 1973 to 1993, a Box-Cox double-hurdle model of the participation and expenditure decisions regarding meat consumption has been estimated. Particular attention has been given to single-adult households. The effects of...

This paper presents an alternative perspective on the process by which respondents consider options within choice experiments. Building on the “new” model of consumer demand by Stigler and Becker (1977), it suggests that the attributes within choice experiments are not valued directly, but...

Duration Analysis, which allows the timing of an event to be explored in a dynamic framework, is used to model the adoption of organic horticultural technology in the UK. The influence of a range of economic and non-economic determinants is explored using discrete time models. The empirical...
