170 week household panel. Besides purchase quantity and price data, information with respect to coupon use and household demographic characteristics are used in a variety of models which build upon each other in terms of assumed distribution of interpurchase time, effect of previous purchases, role of demographic characteristics and effect of unobserved interpurchase time heterogeneity. Likelihood ratio tests clearly reject the null hypothesis that coupon use has no impact on cheese purchase timing.

"The warm, frothy milk-based beverage was described by Health magazine as 'a trendy new insomnia fighter...popping up all over social media, often in colorful hues'."

Notes:
Presented at the annual meeting of the American Agricultural Economics Association, Denver, Colorado, August 1-4, 2004. 24 pages., High increases in media advertising costs have caused a shift away from generic advertising to other promotional activities. A relatively new retail-level promotional activity is the Dairy Case Management Program aimed at improving the management, appearance, and operation of the dairy case. An evaluation of the Northwestern Hudson Valley Market program demonstrated increases in sales volume for both supermarkets/mass merchants and convenience/drug stores. However, the value of volume gains compared with program costs indicates a cost recovery time of over two years. Therefore, program success depends on the implementation of a long-run strategy with continual evaluation.
