Notes:
Presented at the American Agricultural Economics Association annual meeting, Nashville, Tennessee, August 8-11, 1999. 14 pages, Findings included a highly negative impact of television coverage on consumer decision making toward fresh meat, both from the past and in the future.
Analyses suggest that the likelihood of cutting fresh meat consumption increases with greater attention given to television messages, as well as with the presence of young children in the household and with increasing age of the consumer.

Notes:
11 pages., Pages 204-216 in Proceedings of the NCR-134 Conference on Applied Commodity Price Analysis, Forecasting, and Market Risk Management, Chicago, Illinois > 1981-1999 Conference Archive., Researchers estimated net reach and average frequency of exposure to publicity about a case of chicken contamination in the U.S. "It was found that for each unit of increase in weekly publicity frequency, prices were depressed by 1.2 percent, leading to a $760 million retail loss to the chicken industry. This amounts to less than one-quarter of one percent of revenue over the 10 years studied."
