Economic development, income distribution and meat demand

Meta-Engel curves for meats are estimated from international cross-section data. Income explains a large proportion of meat consumption variance and tastes are relativefy unimportant. Growth in meat consumption accelerates as countries pass through the middle income stage. Greater equality in income...

description Meta-Engel curves for meats are estimated from international cross-section data. Income explains a large proportion of meat consumption variance and tastes are relativefy unimportant. Growth in meat consumption accelerates as countries pass through the middle income stage. Greater equality in income distribution reduces average meat consumption, Therefore, part of the reason why growth In meat consumption accelerates as countries pass through the middle income stage is because income distribution is more skewed at that stage of development.
