We use representative household data from Malawi and develop a demand systems approach to estimate income and price elasticities of food demand and nutrient consumption. These estimates are applied for policy simulations. Given multiple nutritional deficiencies, income-related policies are better suited than price policies to improve nutrition. While consumer price subsidies for maize improve calorie and mineral consumption, they can worsen vitamin consumption in urban areas."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/j.worlddev.2010.08.002"],["dc.identifier.gro","3150295"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/7044"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.relation.issn","0305-750X"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Department für Agrarökonomie und Rurale Entwicklung"],["dc.title","Analyzing Nutritional Impacts of Policies: An Empirical Study for Malawi"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Rising obesity rates are the result of changes in people’s diets and lifestyles. Income growth and urbanization are factors that contribute to these changes. Modernizing food retail environments may also play a certain role. For instance, the rapid spread of supermarkets in many developing countries could affect consumer food choices and thus nutritional outcomes. However, concrete evidence about the effects of supermarkets on consumer diets and nutrition is thin. A few existing studies have analyzed related linkages with cross-sectional survey data. We add to this literature by using panel data from households and individuals in urban Kenya. Employing panel regression models with individual fixed effects and controlling for other factors we show that shopping in supermarkets significantly increases body mass index (BMI). We also analyze impact pathways. Shopping in supermarkets contributes to higher consumption of processed and highly processed foods and lower consumption of unprocessed foods. These results confirm that the retail environment affects people’s food choices and nutrition. However, the effects depend on the types of foods offered. Rather than thwarting modernization in the retail sector, policies that incentivize the sale of more healthy foods—such as fruits and vegetables—in supermarkets may be more promising to promote desirable nutritional outcomes."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/j.worlddev.2017.07.018"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/16492"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/12892"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","GRO-Li-Import"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation.doi","10.1016/j.worlddev.2017.07.018"],["dc.relation.issn","0305-750X"],["dc.relation.issn","0305-750X"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Department für Agrarökonomie und Rurale Entwicklung"],["dc.rights","CC BY-NC-ND 4.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0"],["dc.title","Supermarket Shopping and Nutritional Outcomes: A Panel Data Analysis for Urban Kenya"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Based on 24-hour recall data from rural households in Rwanda, Uganda and Tanzania, this study analyzes dietary patterns to provide a comprehensive picture of the risk of micronutrient deficiencies, with particular emphasis on bioavailable vitamin A, iron and zinc intakes. The results confirm that micronutrient deficiencies are widespread and positively correlated with calorie deficiency. Regression analysis suggests that income growth will bring about important nutritional improvements. However, more targeted interventions are needed, especially for controlling vitamin A deficiency. Promising avenues include basic education, women empowerment, promotion of home gardens, awareness campaigns and vitamin A biofortification. Spatial differences within and across regions indicate that detailed knowledge of local conditions is imperative for designing and targeting effective food and nutrition policies."],["dc.identifier.fs","580794"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/7436"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/61326"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Department für Agrarökonomie und Rurale Entwicklung"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Fakultät für Agrarwissenschaften"],["dc.rights","Goescholar"],["dc.rights.uri","https://goescholar.uni-goettingen.de/licenses"],["dc.subject.ddc","630"],["dc.title","Patterns and determinants of dietary micronutrient deficiencies in rural areas of East Africa"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
