Explaining Disparities in the Cost of Healthier Food

Year: 2004

Type: preprint

Abstract: This study examines the relative price of a standard market basket of food items and a market basket of healthier alternatives. Because people in low-income neighborhoods may have fewer grocery stores and transportation alternatives, the effects of store size and competition on the price of a market basket is estimated.
