      abstract = {This analysis examines the determinants of organic food  purchase behavior of a random sample of U.S. food shoppers.  We analyze food expenditures conditional upon whether a  household purchases organic foods. The results from our  econometric modeling effort identify shopping venue,  awareness of the organic label, positive beliefs toward  organic foods, a positive attitude toward cooking, and a  lack of religious affiliation as being important  determinants of organic food purchases. Income was not  found to significantly affect the decision to buy organic  foods. Our results suggest that the limiting factors of the  organic food market are search cost, dietary patterns, and  awareness of the organic food label. Given the recent  “Wal-Mart” effect on the organic food market, it is  anticipated that these search costs will decrease as  organic foods become more widely available.},
