Global country‐level estimates of associations between adult height and the distribution of income
OBJECTIVES: This article presents the first estimates of global associations between adult height and the distribution of income, and considers the roles of regional heterogeneity, heterogeneity across low- and high-income countries, and of infant mortality as a potential mediator. METHODS: Linear parametric and semiparametric regressions predicting mean height and sexual dimorphism in height are estimated using data on one cohort born in 1996 wi…
Economics of Food Energy Density and Adolescent Body Weight
We present a simple microeconomic behavioral model showing that decreases in the price of energy‐dense foods increase body weight if the price of obtaining a calorie from dense food is lower than that of less dense food. Estimates of the determinants of adolescent BMI suggest that the price of high‐density food is negatively related to BMI whereas the price of low density food is positively related. Restaurant availability is not associated with …
