Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate the demand characteristics of household consumption of food-away-from-home (FAFH) with a focus on the role of education of household head in Nigeria. Using 2003/2004 Nigeria Living Standard Survey (NLSS) data, we employ the Cragg’s Double-Hurdle (DH) model, which estimate jointly, households’ decisions to consume FAFH and how much to spend on FAFH or the demand for FAFH. The empirical results show that education of household head decreases the demand and probability of consuming FAFH, while household income and households with younger age cohorts increase the demand and probability of consuming FAFH in the study. The findings also reveal that education reduces the demand for FAFH for the wealthier households twice as much as it does for the poorer households.
