Do Universal Free School Meals Improve the Dietary Quality of Food‐At‐Home Purchases?
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Since 2014, the number of schools offering universal free meals to all enrolled children without requiring annual meal applications has increased meaningfully. Using USDA's Purchase to Plate Crosswalk, a difference‐in‐differences framework, and a nationwide consumer panel, the effect of universal‐free‐meal exposure on the diet quality of food ...

Farmers' Preferences for Gene Editing Crops and Influencing Factors
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Gene editing (GE) is gaining momentum worldwide, but limited data on UK farmers' preferences hinders our understanding of its potential impact amid deregulation debates. Based on a survey of 200 English arable farmers, we employ a Latent Class Analysis and Multinomial Logit regressions to investigate current preferences for GE crops.

Ex‐Ante Assessment of Farm Resilience to Institutional Shocks: A Modeling Approach
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Using the agent‐based model SWISSland, we simulate farm‐level responses and interactions under two institutional shocks: tariff reductions and direct payment reductions. Using a framework we developed, we assess resilience capacities, resilience attributes, and the provision of private and public goods, following the shock.
