Prices, marketing and food choices.
Abstract: The presentation will briefly cover two topics: the nutritional impact of trading down in quality and the potential impact of restricting the advertising of discretionary food products.
As regards the first topic, Defra in its publication ‘Family Food’ produces a calculation of trading up and down in food quality due to changes in prices, in that context, the purpose of the study was to explore whether the measure of quality had any nutritional meaning.
The second topic focuses on the impact that price promotions may have on the purchase of discretionary food products. For this, a demand system and inter-category effects were estimated, which allowed us to compute the changes in quantities, energy and macronutrients. Moreover, it also permitted to estimate unintended consequences of the policy.
