RT Journal Article SR Electronic A1 Stávková, Jana A1 Sharma, Silvie T1 Behaviour of consumers in EU countries JF Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis YR 2014 VO 53 IS 3 SP 311 OP 318 DO 10.11118/actaun200553030311 UL https://acta.mendelu.cz/artkey/acu-200503-0030.php AB The paper focuses on development of consumer behavior on the basis of household expenditures in 1996, 1999 and 2002 in individual countries in Europe. As a tool to examine the changes in behavior was used cluster analysis. The results of this analysis are illustrated in dendrograms, which help to estimate the greatest differences in consumer behavior among north-western European countries and new countries joining EU, then also among western European countries and south European countries. For the analysis of factors with influence on consumer behavior is required a research about motives of behavior and consumption of main agricultural commodities.
