The empirical analysis takes advantage of a single Chicago-area grocery store chain, Dominick’s, having stores located at census tracts with different ethnic background composition. Combining the sales data at store-UPC level controlling for prices and brand offerings with 173 beer brands’ origin information scraped from one of the most visited beer online platform, we find significant home bias in consumption.
