Using panel data for rural South India, a fixed-effects individual wage equation and farm production function are estimated that have calorie intake nutritional status (weight-for-height) of workers as their arguments. Neither market wages, nor output, observed to be responsive changes in the daily energy workers. However, both highly elastic with respect weight-for-height. These results suggest that, while human body can adapt inadequate nutrition short run, it cannot readily chronic...
Good estimates of nutrient intake responses to prices and income are very useful for the evaluation numerous efforts improve nutrition in many developing countries through pricesubsidy income-generation policies. We discuss three problems standard these then illustrate their implications demand relations a poor sample from rural south India. (1) Intra-household allocations usually ignored. In this case intakes females systematically have algebraically lower price elasticities than do those...

Earnings data on a nationally representative sample of Indonesian adults show that males have significantly lower returns to secondary and tertiary schooling than females. These differences are greatest at the level Diploma 1 vocational education, but still substantial for nonvocational university education. The estimated also greater older cohorts younger cohorts, although inter-cohort identical It appears women in Indonesia been acquiring education relatively larger numbers men recent...
This paper analyses the effect of being insured under voluntary component Vietnamese Health Insurance, on patterns treatment seeking behaviour. A multinomial logit model is estimated using household survey data from three provinces in Vietnam. Decisions regarding both type provider sought and care received are analysed. Insurance status treated as exogenous endogenous to account for potential selection bias. The results indicate that, overall, patients more likely use outpatient facilities,...
Jonna Mazet and colleagues describe their work in the Tanzania-based HALI Project, which adopts "One Health" approach to address emerging zoonoses that recognizes interconnectedness of human, animal, environmental health.
Benefit-cost analysis and other forms of economic evaluation are powerful tools, encouraging the systematic collection assessment evidence needed to support sound policy decisions. In low-and middle-income countries, where resources very scarce needs great, such decisions particularly difficult can be especially useful. If not well conducted clearly reported, however, these studies lead erroneous conclusions. Differences in analytic methods assumptions also obscure important differences...
Understanding the determinants of nutrient intake and influence nutrition on performance is critical in designing policies to alleviate hunger malnutrition. A series studies undertaken by authors, which are synthesized here, analyzes prices, income, women's schooling those developing countries effect health, productivity, wages, fertility. These suggest that impact food price increases may be strong, particularly among with lowest incomes, growth income less likely improve than has been...
The income elasticity of calories generally is substantially smaller than the food expenditure. One reason may be an increasing concern for variety as incomes increase. Food can linked with two characteristics indifference curves: (1) curvature and (2) location curves relative to axes. Estimates suggest taste budgets Therefore, such apparently underlies in part low elasticities calorie demand, which turn cast doubt on World Bank assertion that nutrient intakes poor populations will improve...
Industrial firms in low income countries face somewhat different incentives for investment R&D than do industrialized countries.In particular, they are at a competitive disadvantage with respect to selling technology upstream the countries.Technology supplied from industrial provides them strong incentive purchase various forms as opposed engaging their own R&D.In this study an econometric analysis of decisions Indian invest and (through licensing agreements) is undertaken.These treated...
This paper examines key determinants of class status and the relationship between values. We show that is largely determined by factors related to higher incomes, but highly divergent among regions. Higher significantly correlated with values are more likely foster economic growth. However, political activism a greater degree driven middle rather than upper or lower class. indicates may have special importance in demanding accountability. Thus, policies raise through education better jobs be...
Child malnutrition is pervasive in Bangladesh, with nearly one-half of all children below the age five years being either underweight or stunted. The country has, however, made significant progress reducing incidence child during last 15 years. There are large disparities across gender, geographical regions, and economic groups. empirical evidence reviewed this article suggests that public transfer relief programs provide food to poor, such as Vulnerable Group Feeding program Food-for-Work...
