The Role of Gender Inequality in the Obesity Epidemic: A Case Study from India
Recent empirical evidence emphasizes the higher prevalence of overweight and obesity for women, especially in developing countries. However, the potential link between gender inequality and obesity has rarely been investigated. Using longitudinal data from India (IHDS 2005–11), we implement Hausman-Taylor and fixed-effect models to estimate the effect of different dimensions of gender inequalities on female overweight. This study demonstrates tha…
Violation des droits des femmes et malnutrition en Inde: Vers De Nouvelles Formes d'Inégalités
À partir de données longitudinales sur la population indienne, nous estimons la façon dont l'accroissement des discriminations envers les femmes affecte leur santé nutritionnelle. Tandis que certaines formes de discriminations en Inde se sont détériorées sur la période étudiée, nous observons systématiquement des effets non linéaires de ces changements sur l'état nutritionnel des femmes, suggérant la concomitance de différents mécanismes ayant de…
Many Rivers to Cross: Social Identity, Cognition, and Labor Mobility in Rural India
This study analyzes whether individual skills and personality traits facilitate labor market mobility of disadvantaged groups and rural migrants. We use a panel dataset of individuals in rural South India to explore the relationship between individual cognitive skills, personality traits, and income mobility. We take advantage of intragroup heterogeneity in terms of cognitive skills and personality traits to examine whether these personal charact…
Does inequality have a silver lining? Municipal income inequality and obesity in Mexico
Is Excess Weight Penalised or Rewarded in Middle‐Income Countries’ Labour Markets? Comparative Evidence from China, India and Mexico
This comparative study examines the relationship between excess weight and hourly wages in the unprecedented context of middle‐income countries. We compare three countries that are at different stages of the nutrition transition: India (at an early stage), China (at an intermediate stage) and Mexico (at an advanced stage). To do so, we use three distinct household surveys and combine different estimation procedures. Our results emphasise a wage p…
Modèles de mélange fini (FMM) appliqués à la segmentation du marché du travail à Bogota
Finite Mixture Models (FMM) Applied to the Segmentation of the Bogota Labor Market. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate that the semi-parametric approach with Finite Mixture Models (FMM) is a real alternative to clustering procedures to explain social phenomena. We present the general framework of FMM before detailing the three stages of Finite Mixture Regression Models (FMRM). An empirical application of this new method is used to anal…
