Health nutrition and economic development.
梳理了健康与经济发展关系的实证研究，指出健康改善能提升低收入地区的劳动产出，但因果机制难以厘清，且支持营养效率工资假说的证据薄弱。
The relationship between economic development and health has received far less attention than the relationship between development and schooling. However, recent studies indicate that better health is associated with improved labor market outcomes, particularly in low-income settings. Difficulties in disentangling the causal mechanisms underlying these associations are discussed, highlighting the role of behaviors and measurement of health. The empirical literature is reviewed, and implications of results for the functioning of markets are drawn out. The discussion includes an evaluation of the empirical evidence in support of the nutrition (health) efficiency wage hypothesis: we conclude that it is thin.
