ABSTRACT Evidence regarding whether consumers view plant‐based meat alternatives (PBMAs) as substitutes for or complements to is mixed; however, the ultimate effect of increased demand PBMAs on poultry and livestock production depends this relationship. Existing elasticity estimates primarily come from stated‐preference discrete‐choice models, which assume all options are substitutes. This study employs a basket‐based choice experiment (BBCE) estimate own‐ cross‐price elasticities in food‐away‐from‐home consumption settings. The BBCE then used calibrate an equilibrium displacement model, links shifts supplies. Our findings indicate (1) there mix complementarity substitution between conventional PBMAs, (2) own‐price lies those premium (salmon ribeye steak) more affordable choices (burgers chicken breast), (3) lowering prices (or increasing consumers’ willingness‐to‐pay PBMAs) unlikely significantly impact production.
