Abstract

<p>The objective of this paper is to examine how household attributes affect food demand by estimating Engel functions with the anonymized data of the National Survey of Family Income and Expenditure in 1989, 1994, 1999, and 2004. The result includes that households with an older householder like more fish and vegetables, and like less eating-out and processed food than those with a younger householder after removing the effects of children and elderly family members. This is consistent with the finding in Kusakari (2011) that younger households like eating-out and processed food and older households like healthy foods as a tendency.</p>
