View help for Summary
This paper explores the causes and consequences of regional taste
differences. I introduce habit formation into a standard general equilibrium
model. Household tastes evolve over time to favor foods consumed
as a child. Thus, locally abundant foods are preferred in every
region, as they were relatively inexpensive in prior generations. These
patterns alter the correspondence between price changes and nutrition.
For example, neglecting this relationship between tastes and agro-climatic
endowments overstates the short-run nutritional gains from agricultural
trade liberalization, since preferred foods rise in price in every
region. I examine the model's predictions using household survey data
from many regions of India.
