Price-, taste-, and convenience-competitive plant-based meat analogues would not currently replace the majority of meat consumption: A narrative review [Now peer-reviewed]

My paper, "Price-, taste-, and convenience-competitive plant-based meat analogues would not currently replace the majority of meat consumption: A narrative review", first posted as a pre-print here on the EA Forum, is now published in the peer-reviewed journal Appetite.

The work has undergone many improvements since it was first posted, so it may be worthwhile taking another look now, although the overall conclusion hasn't changed. In particular:

1. The new section "Studies of price and convenience manipulations individually" which reviews some recent literature on cross-price elasticities of plant-based meat, showing inconsistent results between studies: "Throughout, estimates sometimes suggested that decreased plant-based meat, butter and milk analogue prices might cause increased consumption of the corresponding animal product."
2. Extended discussion in the section "Hypothetical discrete choice experiments," covering more details of the study designs.
3. Better figures, now with error bars, and more citations throughout.
4. A new "Methods" section.
5. Corrected discussion in "Malan et al. (2022) field experiment" (relative to the August 2023 pre-print; no new corrections to that section were made since the October 2023 pre-print correction.)
