我国农村居民消费需求分析

农村市场难以发展的关键是农民消费需求不足．本文就制约我国农村居民消费发展的五大因素进行简要分析，并对启动农村消费市场、发展农民消费行为的对策进行探讨。     

中国农村沼气消费及影响因素

本文采用1998～2005年间分省(区、市)的数据实证分析了中国农村人均沼气消费的影响因素。研究发现,农村人均纯收入水平、农村薪柴资源状况、农村商品能源的价格和农户能源消费观念等因素对农村人均沼气消费具有显著影响;当地秸秆资源状况、产生沼气的生物质资源数量、当地平均气温和农村劳动力受教育程度等因素对农村人均沼气消费的影响不显著。     

消费总支出的地区性差异研究——以安徽省农村消费为例

本文利用2001-2003年安徽省17个市的农村居民调查数据建立Panel-Data模型，分析地区因素对农村居民消费行为的影响。在分析各个地区差异之后，还将全省按两条大河分为三大区域，并比较了这三大区域之间的消费差异。结果表明，各个地区的农民在消费总支出上有很大的不同，而且长江以南地区农村居民消费能力最强。     

转变农村消费模式与实现生态消费

当前,我国农村总体消费水平低下,农村消费面临的资源环境约束日益显现.拓展农村消费市场,转变现阶段农村消费模式和实现生态消费是扩大国内消费需求、转变经济发展方式、建设生态文明的重点和难点.本文首先分析了农村消费现状及其形成原因,进而指出转变农村消费模式的必要性,并对农村生态消费模式的内涵进行了阐述,提出了建立符合我国国情的农村生态消费模式的实现途径,最后指出了实现农村生态消费是一项系统工程,需要用宏观的战略性视角进行指导.     

新疆城镇居民消费与农村居民消费的对比分析

正确把握城镇居民消费和农村居民消费的长短期差异,是制定合理的、有针对性的政策所必需的。本文以协整理论和反映短期波动的误差修正模型为基本分析方法,对比分析新疆城镇居民消费与农村居民消费的本质差异,在此基础上提出了几点对策。     

农村家庭教育消费满意度研究——基于辽宁省农户调研数据

本文基于辽宁省1000个农户家庭教育消费的实地调研数据,通过对相关文献的梳理,建立农村家庭教育消费满意度的概念模型,旨在揭示农村家庭教育消费满意度的影响机理,从而促进农村教育的发展。本文采用结构方程模型和多元回归分析进行实证研究,研究结果表明农村家庭教育消费期望对教育消费质量感知、价值感知和满意度具有负向影响;教育消费质量感知和价值感知对教育消费满意度具有正向影响;教育消费满意度正向影响教育再消费意愿;家长文化程度对教育消费满意度影响教育再消费意愿的调节作用得到验证。     

河南农村居民消费需求状况分析

农村消费不足一直是我国经济面临的一个突出问题,河南亦是如此。长期以来,河南农村市场巨大的消费潜力和过低的消费水平并存,解决二者之间的矛盾对于河南经济能否持续快速发展有着重要意义。本文在分析河南省目前消费结构和现状的基础上,总结制约农民消费水平提高的因素,并提出相应的解决对策。     

河北省农村居民消费需求影响因素分析

影响农村居民消费需求的因素很多,本文利用持久收入模型对河北省26年来的数据进行分析,指出农民收入是影响河北省农村居民消费需求的重要因素,并对非收入因素进行分析。根据河北省农村消费与收入的现状,提出了增加农村消费需求的几点建议。     

促进农村消费的瓶颈因素和路径选择

长期以来,消费不足特别是农村消费不足一直是我国经济面临的突出问题.来自商务部的统计显示,目前占全国人口总数三分之二的农村,只消费了全国三分之一的商品,农村人均日消费仅有5元多.     

农村消费滞后与工业结构优化——对我国重化工业争论的反思

通过对城乡耐用消费品拥有情况的比较分析显示,无论从城乡消费对比情况还是从不同区域农村消费对比情况来看,我国农村居民消费都具有滞后性.这一滞后性一方面制约了轻工业的发展,另一方面也在一定程度上诱发了重工业的加速发展,从而造成了轻重工业比例的失衡.因此,本文认为,目前工业结构调整的关键在于启动农村消费以促进轻工业的发展;同时,引导和规范重工业的发展,以避免宏观经济的波动.     

微生态·新年消费

<正>一到过年,举家上下一齐出动上街采购年货——这几乎成了国人约定俗成的一种习惯。商务部2月6日发布的监测情况显示,今年春节黄金周全国消费市场红火,销售保持平稳较快增长,正月初一至初七,全国零售和餐饮企业实现销售额约6107亿元人民币,比去年春节黄金周增长13.3%。据监测,今年春节消费亮点呈现:休闲旅游、文化教育、娱乐     

非农就业如何影响农村居民家庭消费——基于总量与结构视角

本文从增收效应、预期效应、示范效应、挤出效应四个方面构建非农就业影响农村居民家庭消费的分析框架,基于中国家庭追踪调查数据,考虑农村居民参与非农就业的自选择特征和家庭异质性特征,采用倾向分值匹配法和分位数回归模型,从消费总量和消费结构两个层面检验非农就业如何影响农村居民家庭消费。研究发现,非农就业通过改善家庭收入增长性、弱化收入不确定性、强化城镇居民消费对农村居民消费的示范性,促进了农村居民家庭消费增长,但也会增加教育和医疗支出的不确定性,从而对家庭消费造成挤出效应。上述四种效应叠加后,非农就业能促使农村居民家庭消费总支出平均提高13.09%,但这一促进作用随家庭消费总支出的提高而逐渐减弱;非农就业对不同类型产品消费的促进作用存在明显差异:对家庭设备、居住类受流动性约束较强的耐用品消费的促进作用强于对食物、衣着、交通通讯消费的促进作用,对文教娱乐、医疗保健类"软性"消费的影响不显著。进一步研究发现,非农就业对家庭收入为中上水平、存在流动性约束、没有购买商业保险及东部地区农村居民家庭消费的促进作用更明显。本文研究结论不仅为"城镇化是扩大内需的最大潜力"这一经验判断提供了直接证据,也为进一步释放农村消费潜力提供了方向和思路。     

绿色消费态度对森林认证产品消费行为的影响研究

基于计划行为理论,从绿色消费态度视角出发,运用结构方程模型研究消费者对森林认证产品的消费行为机制。结果表明:消费者的消费态度正向影响消费者对森林认证产品消费的主观规范和感知行为控制;消费者对森林认证产品消费的主观规范正向影响消费者的消费行为意向,且在消费态度与行为意向之间起完全中介作用;消费者对森林认证产品消费的感知行为控制正向影响消费者的消费行为意向,且在消费态度与行为意向之间起完全中介作用;消费者对森林认证产品消费的行为意向正向影响消费者的消费行为。由此提出利用网络平台促进与消费者的交流、提高消费者对森林认证产品的主观规范等建议。     

Milk Consumption Behavior of Adults

Milk consumption behavior of adults between the ages of 25-49 were investigated using a telephone survey. It was found that the bulk of milk was drunk by a relatively small portion of the respondents and consumption decreased with increasing age. Plain milk was consumed at home principally in the evening and almost always cold. Attitudes towards plain and flavored milk consumption are reported.     

生态足迹显示消费病症

<正>人类每年消耗的资源,地球需要1.5年时间来再生,也就是说我们正在消费1.5个地球。这不是危言耸听。面对有限的自然资源与消费者日益增长的需求之间的矛盾,我们应该怎么办?如何改变我们的生产和消费模式?近日,WWF(世界自然基金会)与中国—东盟环境保护合作中心联合发布《中国生态足迹与可持续消费研究报告》,用生态足迹作为工具衡量消费在中国带来的     

Income Growth and International Meat Consumption

With technological adoption and trade liberalization, per capita incomes have grown rapidly in industrialized countries. Income growth has resulted in increased per capita meat consumption. Projecting future meat consumption requires quantifying the relationship between per capita income and meat consumption. This study estimates the relationship between income growth and meat consumption using data from 32 countries. Beef, pork, poultry, and lamb income elasticities declined at different rates as income levels increased. High income countries have experienced relatively constant per capita meat consumption. Low income counmes with low income growth have had stagnant meat consumption. Low income countries with growing incomes have experienced increasing meat consumption. Countries such as China characterized by relatively large income growth and moderate population growth have experienced large increases in total meat consumption.     

The Dynamics of Individuals' Fat Consumption

Consumers are increasingly aware of the link between their lifestyle choices and the risk of noncommunicable diseases. A dynamic approach incorporating this linkage in food demand is developed, where consumers maximize utility over time by choosing fat intake to control their cumulative fat level. The resulting dynamic indirect utility function and household data on meat, fish, and dairy consumption are used to estimate a censored demand system. Results show that consumers consciously adjust, but not instantaneously, their cumulative fat level. Highly educated households have a faster rate of adjustment of cumulative fat. When cumulative fat level increases, consumers shift to dairy or white meat from red meat products.     

Consumption of Economic Information in Agriculture

We develop a model of decision makers' demand for agricultural economic information services. This model treats choice of external decision-support services as a function of actors' assessment of how alternative investments in information complement their internal competencies. Data from a survey in four commodity systems are used to evaluate hypotheses as to how human capital, and functional role of actors in commodity systems affect demand for variously formatted information. By focusing on three axes of heterogeneity—diversity among decision makers, information service providers, and information—we are able to identify key structural and functional relationships in agricultural economic information systems.     

Stimulating UK Adolescents’ Seafood Consumption

The health benefits of seafood consumption are well known, however, consumption levels in the UK remain below recommended levels of two servings per week. Seafood consumption is beneficial for adolescents, as it is associated with physical and mental well-being, lower levels of obesity, and improved cognitive performance and academic achievement. This study investigated current consumption, preferences, and attitudes toward seafood among UK adolescents. Seven focus groups were conducted in two schools with diverse socio-economic student profiles. Findings revealed that seafood consumption levels vary considerably among individuals and typically takes a less healthy form (e.g., fish and chips). Key drivers of seafood consumption include health and taste, while barriers were typically associated with the sensory qualities of seafood including dislike of taste, bones, smell, and texture. A range of intervention strategies were identified and new product ideas ranged from fun, fast-food, snack-style products to healthy meal options.
