Effects of dietary carbohydrate and energy intake on LAT1 protein expression in rat skeletal muscle
Glucose has been reported to reduce the expression of L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1) protein in C2C12 myocytes. We therefore hypothesized that increased dietary carbohydrate and energy intake would reduce LAT1 protein expression in rodent ...

Food inflation pass‐through from agricultural imports in a small open economy
Abstract This paper develops a new framework for quantifying cost pass‐through in a small open economy by estimating firm‐level markup responses to agricultural import price shocks. We show theoretically that markup adjustments depend on firms' reliance on imported inputs and demand curvature, generating heterogeneous inflationary effects across firm ...

Lost in aggregation? On the importance of local food price data for food poverty estimates
Abstract This paper explores within‐country variations in food price dynamics and food poverty estimates by employing local market price data and national consumer price index (CPI) data. Our results show that national CPI data may be useful for approximating national trends but they fail to detect and identify spatial variations in local trends, which
