Drawing on the author's extensive and varied research, this book
provides readers with a firm grounding in the concepts and issues
across several disciplines including economics, nutrition,
psychology and public health in the hope of improving the design of
food policies in the developed and developing world. Using
longitudinal (panel) data from India, Bangladesh, Kenya, the
Philippines, Vietnam, and Pakistan and extending the analytical
framework used in economics and biomedical sciences to include
multi-disciplinary analyses, Alok Bhargava shows how rigorous and
thoughtful econometric and statistical analysis can improve our
understanding of the relationships between a number of
socioeconomic, nutritional, and behavioural variables on a number
of issues like cognitive development in children and labour
productivity in the developing world. These unique insights
combined with a multi-disciplinary approach forge the way for a
more refined and effective approach to food policy formation going
forward. A chapter on the growing obesity epidemic is also
included, highlighting the new set of problems facing not only
developed but developing countries. The book also includes a
glossary of technical terms to assist readers coming from a variety
of disciplines.
