International price competition among food industries: The role of income, population and biased consumer preference

Author

  • Okimoto, Madoka

Abstract

The poor’s sensitivity to prices means that a hike in food prices, as a burden on consumers, hinders the adequate supply of inexpensive food and worsens food safety problems caused by low-priced food. This paper theoretically studies the impact of economic growth with demographic transitions and food safety on food prices, providing a background for policies to protect consumers.
