Getting Ready for the Marriage Market? A Response
Overweight and obesity constitute a major and increasing health and welfare problem throughout the world. Assessing the multifaceted mechanisms – biological, environmental and behavioural – behind this development is a crucial task in medical, social and economic sciences.

Getting Ready for the Marriage Market? The Association Between Divorce Risks and Investments in Attractive Body Mass Among Married Europeans
This article explores to what extent married middle-aged individuals in Europe are governed by the risk of experiencing divorce, when shaping their physical appearance. The main result is that divorce risks, proxied by national divorce rates, are negatively connected to body mass index (BMI) among married individuals but unrelated to BMI among singles. Hence, it seems that married people in societies where divorce risks are high are more inclined…

The Internal Dynamics of Ethnicity: Clan Names, Origins and Castes in Southern Zimbabwe
Since the late 1960s, researchers have primarily regarded ethnicity as the result of increasing international relations, and thus often as a comparative phenomenon. Although this research has been immensely important for its critique of essentialist notions of ethnicity, analyses of the historically formed specificity of ethnicity have been somewhat neglected. In this article, using an example from Zimbabwe, the author highlights the internal dyn…

Productivity Growth in Health-Care Delivery
OBJECTIVES: The authors compute and compare productivity growth in the health-care sectors for a sample of Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development countries over the period from 1974 to 1989. The authors compute Malmquist productivity indexes, which allow productivity growth to be decomposed into efficiency changes and technical change. These indexes also allow the use of primary quantity data (recently available from the Organizati…
