Analysis of the Impact of Food Stamp Redemptions on Food Stores and Regions
Author: Paul Edwin Nelson
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Chain stores
Languages : en
Pages : 60
Book Description
Abstract: Food stamp redemption data (fiscal year 1978) are presented in an update of an earlier report; the importance of the socioeconomic characteristics of households in the redemption stores' immediate areas is explored. Sources of data and methods of comparison are described. Socioeconomic characteristics of the households in the trading areas include: proportion of white collar to blue collar workers, proportion of households without a car, consecutive years ofresidence, median household income, and ethnic composition. Relation of socioeconomic factors and ratios of food stamp redemptions to food sales are analyzed statistically. A comparison of food stamp redemptions and cash/check receiptsby kind and size of store is made. Finally, variations in regions (1978) and changes among and within regions (1976-1978) are described.

Consequences of Commuting Patterns and the Structure of Food Retail Markets for SNAP Redemption

Book Description
Persistent food insecurity and hunger increase the risk of illness, psychological dysfunction and lower educational achievement. Even though these burdens affect society at large, they are most acutely felt by the individuals and households living in poverty. To address the costs of hunger and food insecurity, policies have been designed, many by urban planners, to increase access to healthy food. Because low-income populations are assumed to shop at the nearest store that sells food, most policies have focused on opening new supermarkets in "food deserts." However, there is little evidence that such assumptions are true or that nearby supermarkets make a difference. This dissertation presents a 7-year panel model for 207 counties in Texas as a tool to test the consequences of commuting patterns and the structure of the retail grocery market on food dollars spent by people living in poverty. The model uses longitudinal data from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The model uses publicly available geocoded data on SNAP benefits and redemptions, retail locations, and commuting patterns. The model explicitly examines the consequences of commuting patterns and retail markets, both local and in surrounding counties, for SNAP redemption. Results show that commuting patterns and the grocery retail market are important factors for predicting SNAP redemptions. Specifically, workers that commute out of a county have a negative effect on the amount of SNAP dollars redeemed in a county, and workers that commute into a county have the opposite effect. Large SNAP retailers, such as super stores or chain stores, have the largest positive effect. The number of supermarkets in a neighboring county does not affect the net SNAP dollars redeemed within a county, but the number of neighboring super stores or chain stores does. SNAP redemptions decrease significantly when counties do not have large retailers and when counties have more outbound workers than inbound workers. The factors identified in this research that influence redemption patterns may have implications for policies that attempt to enhance SNAP redemptions. In the broader picture, such policies may have a significant impact on food access for people living in poverty.

Book Description
Excerpt from An Analysis of Food Stamp Redemptions The administrative task is complicated because there likely are lags in coupon use by participants and the eventual request for redemption by agents of the Federal Reserve. Management of the redemption account, therefore, implies the ability to fore cast both coupon loss (or nonuse) and the appropriate lag structure involved in the redemption process. Providing answers to four questions served as the research objectives of this investigation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
