质量、信息和公共政策:消费者购买无公害鸡蛋的影响因素分析

本文以在北京市海淀区进行的消费者访谈和问卷调查,分析了消费者收入,消费者对产品的信任程度、消费者个体特征、无公害鸡蛋和普通鸡蛋的价格差等对消费者鸡蛋购买行为的影响。基于数量化理论Ⅱ类的模型估计结果表明,消费者的收入水平、对无公害鸡蛋的相信程度以及性别是影响消费者购买无公害和绿色鸡蛋的主要因素,而年龄和不同地点无公害鸡蛋与普通鸡蛋的价格差对消费者购买行为的影响比较复杂,教育程度对购买行为的影响较小,但其影响方向与理论预期一致。根据实证结论,最后提出了提高中低收入者的收入水平、通过政府监控宣传和生产者的自律提高消费者对无公害食品的信任程度、以及将无公害鸡蛋价格的合理设定等政策含义和商业启示。
