      abstract = {During the 2000s, recurrent food price shocks in Mexico  modified consumption and nutritional patterns of  households. This research quantifies the impacts of food  price shocks on the purchase of nutrients and on the weight  gain of children in urban Mexican households. We find  differentiated patterns of food consumption across income  quintiles, which result in heterogeneous effects of price  shocks on the purchase of nutrients and on weight gain  according to age and sex in children. In particular, cereal  price shocks are more detrimental and more regressive than  price shocks on other categories like meats, vegetables or  beverages.},
