Inequality as a Determinant of Malnutrition and Unemployment: Policy
构建一般均衡模型，证明当营养摄入影响生产率时，适度的资产再分配或营养转移能提高总产出、减少非自愿失业和营养不良。
This paper explores the policy implications that are obtained once it is recognized that at low nutrition intakes a person's productivity is an increasing function of intake. In the context of a fully general equilibrium model it is shown that if aggregate assets in an economy are neither large nor small, certain patterns of Lorenz improving asset redistributions (or nutrition transfers) increase aggregate output and reduce the volume of involuntary unemployment and the incidence of undernourishment.
