Abstract
  • Despite an understanding among consumers that fish is a healthy food, the recommended intake is on average not achieved in many countries. This paper investigates the effect of children in households to the purchase of fish and meat products, using Norwegian household-level panel data on food purchases from 2004 to 2011. We find that children affects seafood purchases negatively in general. However, the budget share of seafood in most households with children are increasing, and they are shifting their expenditure away from beef and pork products, as the consumption of chicken products also seems to increase. A potential explanation behind this trend is the introduction of convenient seafood products, in particular portion size frozen salmon fillets in 2004.
