“…For example, in Spain, FAFH expenditure accounts for almost one third of total food expenditure (Mutlua & Gracia, 2006). In Ireland, between 1987Ireland, between and 1999Ireland, between /2000, food expenditure allocated to FAFH increased from 14% to 23% (Keelan, Newman, & Henchion, 2005), whereas in Greece FAFH expenditure almost doubled between 1981/1982 and 2004/2005 from 17.43% to 33.37% (Lazaridis & Drichoutis, 2005; National Statistical Service of Greece, 2004Greece, /2005.…”

The authors examine consumers' valuation for food-away-from-home products with and without nutritional labels using experimental auctions. They presented subjects with three different nutritional information schemes: a European Union type label, a United States type label, and a traffic-light colored information label. Furthermore, they examined the role of reference prices (i.e., the real market prices of the products) within the context of experimental auctions. Using well-known products, our results indicate that subjects bid more for the products with nutritional labels. However, among products with nutritional information, subjects' willingness to pay values differ depending on the type of nutritional label on the product. In addition, the authors find evidence that inclusion of reference prices leads to higher bids. [JEL classifications: D12, C23]. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyze the relationship between access to rural product markets and the extent and nature of child labor. It is built on the view that if physical markets can shape rural development through, for instance, influencing prices, household production decisions, and employment, the associated activity growth could increase child labor. Design/methodology/approach – Using the Uganda National Household Survey, the author combines two methodological approaches: first, a probit model to estimate the probability of a child engaging in labor, and second, a double-hurdle model to analyze the hours of child work. Findings – The author finds that children increase time in domestic work when local product markets are distant, while their time in economic activity declines. A similar pattern is observed for the incidence of child labor. The likelihood of child labor in domestic activity increases for each extra hour of travel to the market, while child labor in economic activity declines. This could reflect the possibility that households may switch child work from market-oriented activities to domestic work when they are remotely located from markets. Results confirm findings from earlier cross-country studies that access to product markets may be detrimental to children. Second, they demonstrate that the effect of the markets varies, depending on the age of children, as well as the nature of the work they engage in. Originality/value – No part of this work has been published anywhere before.
