Obesity, Poverty and Public Policy
概述了英国及全球肥胖率上升、贫困人群更严重的现象，分析市场失灵与公平问题，并讨论政策如何有效干预、避免不良后果。
Abstract Obesity rates in the United Kingdom, and around the world, are high and rising. They are higher, and rising faster, amongst people growing up and living in deprivation. These patterns raise potential concerns about both market failures and equity. There is much that policy can do to address these concerns. However, policy can also do harm if it is poorly targeted or has unintended consequences. In order to design effective policies we need an understanding of who we are trying to target, and for what reasons. This paper provides an overview of some of the evidence, and some recent policy initiatives.
