Nutrients: Impacts and Determinants
综合了作者的一系列研究，分析了价格、收入和女性教育对发展中国家居民营养素摄入的影响，以及营养对健康、生产率、工资和生育率的作用，发现食物价格上涨对低收入群体影响显著，收入增长改善营养的效果有限，而女性教育对营养改善很重要。
Understanding the determinants of nutrient intake and the influence of nutrition on performance is critical in designing policies to alleviate hunger and malnutrition. A series of studies undertaken by the authors, which are synthesized here, analyzes the influence of prices, income, and women's schooling on the nutrient intake of those in developing countries and the effect of nutrition on health, productivity, wages, and fertility. These studies suggest that the impact of food price increases may be strong, particularly among those with the lowest incomes, that the growth of income may be less likely to improve nutrient intake than has been suggested by others, and that women's schooling is important in improving nutrition. These studies also indicate that nutrition exerts a positive influence on wages, productivity, and fertility. Our limited knowledge of the role and determinants of nutrition is reflected in the finding of unduly strong effects of seasonality on price-nutrition relations and the lack of a direct association between nutrition and health.
