We demonstrate how a non-nested statistical test developed by Vuong (1989) can be used to assess the suitability of alternate order-of-entry assumptions used for identification purposes in empirical entry models. As an example, we estimate an entry model of McDonald’s and Burger King restaurant outlets in United States. The data set focuses on relatively small “isolated” markets. For these mark...

Recent epidemiological studies have shown a positive association between cancer incidence and high intake of processed meats. N-nitrosamines (NAs) in these products have been suggested as one potential causative factor. Most NAs are classified as probable human carcinogens. Nitrite, a curing agent of meat products and is a precursor of carcinogenic, so one of the main research topics in meat in...

Meat production and consumption have several negative environmental externalities health impacts. Using a stated preference survey, this study identifies main barriers to drivers of switching the following meat substitutes: plant-based veggie burger, meat-like lab burger. About third those who prefer would consider substitute if price were two-thirds or less option. However, almost half respond...
