“…When zero purchases are recorded there is no unit value available and the average unit value is used. This approach has been frequently used in demand studies (e.g., Allais et al, 2010;Bertail & Caillavet, 2008;Buason & Agnarsson, 2020). 15 We estimate the duration parameters 𝑑 𝑖 in Equation (32) for wild, farmed, and other fish.…”

“…The relationships between purchase frequency, habits, and duration have, as far as we know, not been investigated. Previous research by Robin (1993) and Buason & Agnarsson (2020) demonstrate that purchase frequencies are important for explaining consumer purchasing behavior. Thus, it is worth investigating whether habit formation and duration are more important for purchase frequency than for expenditure shares in micro data.…”

“…However, some studies have used infrequency of purchase models (e.g., Meghir and Robin, 1992;Robin, 1993;and Buason & Agnarsson, 2020). These studies use purchase frequencies instead of a binary choice of whether to purchase or not.…”

The quantity purchased in a period is the result of two decisions: the frequency of purchase and the average purchase on each occasion. We introduce habit formation into demand systems modelling each of these decisions. An econometric model is estimated by Bayesian methods. The data generating processes of the frequency and quantity decisions are assumed to follow, respectively, a multivariate Poisson log-normal distribution and a multivariate gamma log-normal distribution. We estimate the systems using French scanner data for purchases of fish. The results suggest that habits in purchase frequencies are important, while habits in average purchased quantities are less important. Furthermore, we find that price changes are important for explaining average quantities purchased but have only minor effects on purchase frequencies.

China is an emerging beef market and per capita consumption of beef increased by 48% in the past decade. Given the importance of the Chinese beef market to domestic beef producers as well as foreign beef exporters, we evaluated the factors associated with how often Chinese consumers purchase beef. Using a 2021 survey of 560 beef consumers in the cities of Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, we found that nearly 50% purchased beef at least two to three times a week. Results of an ordered probit regression suggest that respondents who purchase steak, flank, shank, and brisket are more likely to purchase beef more frequently than those who do not purchase those cuts of beef. Similarly, those who purchase beef more from wet markets and supermarkets, younger shoppers, and those with higher incomes were more likely to purchase beef more frequently. Respondents who considered country of origin and hormone‐free production to be important factors purchased beef more frequently. Consumers who thought price and premium quality grades were more important purchased beef less frequently. These findings provide insights for domestic and foreign beef producers regarding the factors associated with consumer preferences and their frequency of beef purchasing in China.
