Research Brief: Expanding Healthy Food Incentives Across Hawai‘i
Colorado State University finds that if DA BUX was further scaled to food retail locations statewide, each incentive dollar spent by the DA BUX program would have an economic multiplier of 2.3—that means each dollar reimbursed to participating food retailers for their issued discounts would contribute $2.30 dollars to Hawaiʻi’s economy. Additionally, the potential economic contribution would be $14M-$22M in a one-year timeframe.
