  1. 1. Don’t go nuts over nuts : an analysis of policy to reduce water scarcity caused by nuts

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Economics

    Författare :Hanna Vinberg; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Consumption; demand; dietary change; elasticity; food policy; nuts; water footprint; water scarcity;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this paper is to investigate the potential possibilities of reducing water scarcity, by targeting the water intensive consumption of nuts. Therefore, the research question is if consumption-based policies can decrease the consumption of nuts in Sweden, in order to reduce water scarcity in sensitive areas. LÄS MER

  3. 2. The effect of an environmental tax on the consumption of dairy and plant-based drinks : the case of Sweden

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Economics

    Författare :Daniel Törnqvist; [2022]
    Nyckelord :consumer demand; consumption taxation; dietary transition; GHG mitigation; plant-based drinks; Sweden;

    Sammanfattning : In the light of global greenhouse gases (GHG) mitigation targets, this study aims to investigate if a consumption-sided CO2e weighted tax scheme on dairy and plant-based drinks can shift consumption towards plant-based drinks and thereby lower GHG emissions. Using scanner data from a Swedish supermarket ICA Maxi Nacka located in Stockholm, Sweden, we construct a multistage Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System (QUAIDS) to evaluate changes in demand due to the tax implementation.

  4. 3. Emission and Dietary Policy-interventions for Differentiated Fish Products : A QUAIDS Analysis Using Scanner Data

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Economics

    Författare :Tobias Nilsson; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Emission-tax; Seafood; Dietary Recommendations; GHG mitigation; Sweden; QUAIDS; Scanner data;

    Sammanfattning : Internalizing the Social Cost of Carbon (SCC) into the price of fish is a requisite action considering Sweden’s obligations under the Paris Agreement. However, bluntly taxing all seafood may conflict with Swedish authorities’ dietary recommendations. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Sustainable meat consumption

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Economics

    Författare :Julia Linderson; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Economics; food; policy; tax; subsidy; sustainability; meat; consumption; biodiversity; GHG-emissions;

    Sammanfattning : Global warming, declining biodiversity, overuse of natural resources and social fundamentals such as health and a secure income are all affected by our food consumption. In the last 30 years, global meat consumption has doubled, which has increased the negative effects on these issues. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Consumption relationship analysis on Salmon and Cod : quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System approach

    Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Economics

    Författare :Lina Wendel Örtqvist; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Substitution; complements; demand; cross-price elasticities;

    Sammanfattning : There is an endangerment of cod stocks in Sweden. It has been found that farmed salmon from aquacultures is a more sustainable alternative to the overfished and endangered cod. LÄS MER
