      abstract = {We investigate how the supply of retail food outlets  affects the household purchase of fruits and vegetables. We  are particularly interested in the specific effects of the  increased supply on household of fruit and vegetable  purchases in underserved areas. Difference-in-difference  type fixed-effect OLS regressions are used to estimate  these effects for the pooled sample and for the subsamples  by income level, in two settings – pooled cross-section and  panel data settings. The findings indicate that the  increased availability is not associated with an increase  in fruit and vegetables quantity purchased. No discernible  effects are detected for underserved areas and for  income-differentiated subsamples. The results indicate that  the policy intervention to increase the number of local  food outlets not increase fruit and vegetable consumption  in general, and the target underserved communities will  likely not be affected.},
