Online Grocery Shopping Experience during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Online shopping has intensified in the last decade. The COVID-19 pandemic has imposed circulation limitations and more restrictive behaviors on consumers due to fears of contracting the virus, boosting online grocery shopping. Online grocery shopping is a form of online shopping for food and other household items processed through e-commerce websites or mobile apps. The studies on online grocery shopping started in the 1990s with the rise of the high-tech generation, who began shopping online for convenience as it simplified their lives. At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, consumers focused on panic buying as they were afraid of future shortages. On the other hand, consumers also wanted to decrease the number of times they went shopping to reduce the risk of catching the virus. To avoid getting infected with the virus when physically going to the shops, some people started shopping for food online.

Current Market for Functional Foods and Consumption Intention
Functional foods generally refer to foods with one or more particular functions and positive effects on human health, often in relation to nutrition or reducing disease risk. The growth of the functional food market has been largely caused by concerns about rising medical and healthcare costs, the desire to improve the quality of later life with the steady increase in life expectancy, and scientific evidence that functional foods are beneficial to health. Purchase intention, which is strongly associated with market expansion, is the likelihood that consumers plan to purchase specific products or services. Consumer attitude towards a certain product or brand, along with certain external factors, promote consumers’ purchase intentions and are crucial indicators for predicting consumer behaviour.

Purchasing Power Parity and Balassa–Samuelson Effects
The Balassa–Samuelson (BS) hypothesis is often criticized for one of its fundamental, but oversimplified assumptions related to Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) holding which can be confirmed for cronss-country tradables’ prices, implying nontraded-sector prices are solely responsible for inducing trend deviations in real exchange rate. The assumption, when empirically tested, does not always hold valid, revealing a price difference in tradables for Asian countries against the world (U.S.), a potential driver of their trend in real exchange rate deviations (appreciation).

Likeability Attributes of Online Video Advertisements
