      abstract = {Production and consumption of dairy alternative beverages  in the United States has been on the rise as per capita  consumption of fluid milk continues to fall. Almond milk  and soymilk are the fastest growing categories in the U.S.  dairy alternative marketplace. Using household-level  purchase data from 2011 Nielsen Homescan panel and tobit  econometric procedure, the conditional and unconditional  own-price, cross-price and income elasticities for soymilk  and almond milk will be estimated. Income, age, employment  status, education level, race, ethnicity, region and  presence of children are significant drivers affecting the  demand for dairy alternative beverages, such as almond milk  and soy milk. This paper investigates the growth of the  dairy alternative beverage market in the United States and  its implications for dairy farmer welfare.},
