Factors affecting food poverty in Ghana
运用家庭生产理论分析加纳家庭预算调查数据，发现收入、生育率、年龄、性别和教育显著影响家庭热量缺口，且儿童对家庭食物供应的净贡献低于其热量摄入。
Household production theory is applied to the Ghana Household Budget Survey data to: (1) identify the main determinants of food poverty: and (2) determine the net contribution of children to household food availability. Results suggest income, fertility and maturity indices, age, sex, and education significantly explain household calorie gaps. Hypothesis test results (at one per cent and five per cent) suggest the contribution of children to household food availability is less than their caloric intake. Estimated non‐linear equations permit the prediction and monitoring of the calorie gap for a given household or set of households with given household income and demographic features in a given location.
