A Study of the Demand for Beverages in Great Britain Using National Food Survey Data (original) (raw)

This study explores the demand for various beverages, specifically tea and coffee, in Great Britain using data from the National Food Survey (N.F.S.) from 1965. It investigates whether interregional consumption differences can be attributed solely to socio-economic factors such as income and family size or if non-quantifiable elements also play a role. The study highlights significant variations in beverage consumption across different regions and social classes, analyzed through income elasticities, and emphasizes the implications for understanding consumer behavior.
