Abstract

ABSTRACT This research examines food security using actual prices paid by a large panel of U.S. households of consumer-packed goods across seven store formats (e.g., grocery stores, drug stores, and convenience stores). Adjusted for household size and income, the percent of budget spent by three affluency groups (lower, moderate, and higher) found similar spending ratios at the two largest store formats, grocery and mass discounters. Low-income households paid significantly less overall and paid significantly lower prices in three of the four most shopped store formats. The findings suggest poorer consumers are more food secure than previously believed.

食品安全、商店准入和支付价格:穷人会花更多的钱买杂货吗?
本研究使用美国家庭在7种商店形式(如杂货店、药店和便利店)中消费包装商品的实际价格来检验食品安全。根据家庭规模和收入调整后,三个富裕群体(较低、中等和较高)的预算支出比例发现,在两种最大的商店形式——杂货店和大型折扣店——的支出比例相似。在四种最受欢迎的商店形式中,有三种的价格明显低于低收入家庭的总体支出。研究结果表明,较贫穷的消费者比以前认为的更有粮食安全。
