Modeling the impact of television food advertising on children''s

Abstract The effect of television food advertising on children's diets is examined, after controlling for other potentially important dietary influences. The investigation utilizes a structural equation model estimated on cross-sectional data. Long-run effects of television food advertising are detected, but their impact is found to be very small in comparison with that of other effects.
