Getting Food Taxes Right: The Effect on the Future
Three AAEA members present research at Annual Meeting
Is it possible to globally feed a future, 10 billion people population a healthy diet?
In an Invited Paper session at the 2019 AAEA Annual Meeting, “Getting Food Taxes right,” presentations will cover meat consumption, the effect on consumers to respond to price incentives, and food tax insecurity.
Glynn Tonsor from Kansas State University is the discussant for the Invited Paper session which will be on Monday, July 22 at 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm.
Tonsor says that, “Perhaps more than ever before, society is debating if changes are needed in how various food items are produced and priced to potentially better reflect externalities not fully reflected in current markets.”
