Parental education and the height of adult children in China, 1930–99
Beyond the biological prime
Generational persistence in schooling in China over a half century
Does a legal ban on sex-selective abortions improve child sex ratios? Evidence from a policy change in India
Preface to the Special Issue
The world-wide educational community is increasingly concerned with how research supports the work of practitioners. Recently, this concern has received major attention by the call for vast empiric
Poverty and Child Malnutrition in Bangladesh
Child malnutrition is pervasive in Bangladesh, with nearly one-half of all children below the age of five years being either underweight or stunted. The country has, however, made significant progress in reducing the incidence of child malnutrition during the last 15 years. There are large disparities in child malnutrition across gender, geographical regions, and economic groups. The empirical evidence reviewed in this article suggests that publi…
Economies of scale and scope in Vietnamese hospitals
Poverty, Growth, and Institutions in Developing Asia
The theme of this book is that economic growth is key, but institutions and other national and subnational attributes matter as well. They are critical to explaining differences in social development and poverty reduction across countries and subnational areas that cannot be accounted for by growth alone. The book concludes that a more complete strategy needs to consider various institutional factors at the national and subnational levels to achi…
Access to Health Services by the Poor and the Non-Poor
This paper examines the access of the poor and the non-poor in Vietnam to health-care services and discusses the extent to which each group benefits from government health subsidies in that country. It shows that while the overall utilization of health services improved in Vietnam between 1993 and 1998- a period of rapid economic growth, the access of the poor to health care did not improve as much as that of the better-off. The evidence points t…
Poverty, Growth, and Safety Nets
Among the most remarkable events in the world during the last half-century has been the notable economic growth, social transformation, and poverty reduction that has taken place in Asia. It was only three decades ago that more than half of the region's population lived below the poverty line, only two of five adults were literate, and the average person could expect to live only 48 years. At present, the proportion of people who are poor is down…
Gender and savings in rural India
Marriage Markets, Labor Markets, and Unobserved Human Capital
Unobserved Household and Community Heterogeneity and the Labor Market Impact of Schooling
Previous estimates of the private and social economic rates of return to schooling in developing countries often suggest that schooling is an attractive investment opportunity. But most such estimates do not control for unobserved community and household factors relating to abilities, motivation, schooling quality, employment opportunities, and role models. If such unobserved characteristics are important in the determination of wage rates and if…
The Intrahousehold Demand for Nutrients in Rural South India
Jere R. Behrman, Anil B. Deolalikar, The Intrahousehold Demand for Nutrients in Rural South India: Individual Estimates, Fixed Effects, and Permanent Income, The Journal of Human Resources, Vol. 25, No. 4 (Autumn, 1990), pp. 665-696
Technology Production and Technology Purchase in Indian Industry
Industrial firms in low income countries face somewhat different incentives for investment in R&D than do firms in industrialized countries.In particular, they are at a competitive disadvantage with respect to selling technology upstream in the industrialized countries.Technology supplied from upstream industrial firms provides them with a strong incentive to purchase technology in various forms as opposed to engaging in their own R&D.In this stu…
Is Variety the Spice of Life? Implications for Calorie Intake
The income elasticity of calories generally is substantially smaller than the income elasticity of food expenditure. One reason may be an increasing concern for food variety as incomes increase. Food variety can be linked with two characteristics of food indifference curves: (1) curvature and (2) location of the curves relative to the axes. Estimates suggest increasing taste for variety as food budgets increase. Therefore, such taste for variety …
Migration, human capital and development
Nutrition and Labor Producvivity in Agriculture
Using panel data for rural South India, a fixed-effects individual wage equation and farm production function are estimated that have calorie intake and nutritional status (weight-for-height) of workers as their arguments. Neither market wages, nor farm output, are observed to be responsive to changes in the daily energy intake of workers. However, both are highly elastic with respect to weight-for-height. These results suggest that, while the hu…
Will Developing Country Nutrition Improve with Income? A Case Study for Rural South India
The World Bank and others maintain that the major mechanism for improving nutrition in poor communities is increases in income. Aggregate estimates of food expenditure are consistent with such a possibility, implying income/expenditure elasticities close to one. However, the high degree of aggregation at which such estimates are made means that the considerable increase in price per nutrient as income increases is ignored, and the nutrient elasti…
