- Abstract
Lower prices for prepared foods could also be achieved through preparing foods at home rather than buying prepared foods, or engaging in what is known as home production ([5]). In other words, to capture the variation in price of prepared foods and their unprepared ingredients, the product basket needs to be more homogeneous to avoid comparison of some expensive unprepared foods (e.g. seafood) and cheaper prepared foods (e.g. potatoes). We create the food categories by identifying the ingredients of each prepared food purchased and combining the prepared foods in the same group with their main ingredients. This not only changes the time and effort spent in search and home production but also puts increasingly more demand on information concerning nutritional, functional, cultural, geographical and other attributes of foods to make the leap from observable food purchase to unobservable (at least on the nationally representative and statistically significant level) food consumption viable and more rigorous.
