FAST FOOD PRICES AND ADULT BODY WEIGHT OUTCOMES: EVIDENCE BASED ON LONGITUDINAL QUANTILE REGRESSION MODELS
Contemporary Economic Policy - Tập 31 Số 3 - Trang 528-536 - 2013
With a parallel increase in the consumption of food away from home, particularly
fast food, and the obesity prevalence in the United States, evidence on the
potential effectiveness of fiscal pricing policies to curb obesity is needed. We
estimate changes in the dispersion of the entire conditional distribution of
body mass index (BMI) associated with changes in fast food prices for adults
using th...
Does Economic Development Lead to Mangrove Loss? A Cross‐Country Analysis
Contemporary Economic Policy - Tập 21 Số 4 - Trang 418-432 - 2003
Mangroves line one quarter of the world's tropical coastlines, and approximately
117 countries and territories have mangrove resources within their borders.
Although over recent years mangrove deforestation has occurred at a phenomenal
rate worldwide, there have been few economic studies of the underlying causes.
The article attempts such an analysis and particularly examines the role of
economic ...
INDIA'S REVEALED COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGES IN MERCHANDISE TRADE WITH COUNTRY GROUPS AT DIFFERENT LEVELS OF DEVELOPMENT
Contemporary Economic Policy - Tập 39 Số 2 - Trang 377-397 - 2021
The comparative advantage (CA) measures for India's merchandise trade with high,
middle income, and least developed countries, based on annual trade data for 16
product groups from 2003 to 2018, indicate that India has always had CA over all
three groups in animal, food products, and textiles and clothing, and
comparative disadvantage (CDA) in wood. Further, its CA over least developed
countries a...
RECENT EVIDENCE ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF AIR POLLUTION EFFECTS
Contemporary Economic Policy - Tập 10 Số 2 - Trang 63-71 - 1992
This study associates levels of exposure to ozone and fine particulate matter in
the South Coast Air Basin of California with resident income, race, age and
education. A Regional Human Exposure Model provides the basis for estimating
exposure not only on location or residence, but also on mobility within the
Basin and time spent in various activities indoors and outdoors. The results are
consonant...
Frontier Expansion and Economic Development

VALUE OF IMPROVED LONG‐RANGE WEATHER INFORMATION
Contemporary Economic Policy - Tập 13 Số 3 - Trang 10-19 - 1995
An important human welfare implication of climate involves effects of
interannual variation in temperature and precipitation on agriculture.
Year‐to‐year variations in U.S. climate result from El Niño‐Southern Oscillation
(ENSO), a quasi‐periodic redistribution of heat and momentum in the tropical
Pacific Ocean. The study described here represents a preliminary assessment of
the value to the entir...
IS THE CHINESE RENMINBI UNDERVALUED?
Contemporary Economic Policy - Tập 24 Số 1 - Trang 116-126 - 2006
This article seeks to investigate whether the renminbi (RMB) has become grossly
undervalued by empirically estimating China's equilibrium real exchange rate for
the period 1978–2002. A reduced form based on Edwards's (1989, 1994)
developing‐country model is estimated using the Engle‐Granger two‐step method.
The results reveal that government expenditure, productivity, and the degree of
trade restr...
New Evidence on Gay and Lesbian Household Incomes
Contemporary Economic Policy - Tập 22 Số 1 - Trang 78-94 - 2004
Using independent data from the Centers for Disease Control, the author tests a
key assumption of previous research on gay and lesbian incomes: that same‐sex
unmarried partner households are, indeed, gay or lesbian. The author shows that
this independent data suffers from less severe underreporting of same‐sex
unmarried partner households than the 1990 Decennial Census. Furthermore,
individual lev...
MEASURING THE EFFECT OF SEXUAL ORIENTATION ON INCOME: EVIDENCE OF DISCRIMINATION?
Contemporary Economic Policy - Tập 20 Số 4 - Trang 394-414 - 2002
The effect of nonheterosexuality on individual income is estimated using
1991–1996 General Social Survey data. Other researchers have concluded that
homosexuals earn less than similarly qualified workers, in contrast to the
popular perception that homosexuals are more affluent than nonhomosexuals. Using
improved statistical techniques, this article finds noticeable earnings effects
that go in oppo...
INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT AND GROWTH: SOME EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE
Contemporary Economic Policy - Tập 16 Số 1 - Trang 98-108 - 1998
This paper explores empirically the relationship between infrastructure and
economic growth by including the data of expenditure in infrastructure as a
share of GDP in traditional growth cross‐country regressions. Since results are
inconclusive, the paper elaborates some new indicators of investment in
infrastructure employing physical units of infrastructure. They are positively
and significantly...
