5. 19. Nutrition Intake and Economic Growth: A causality study on five countries in Southern Africa

   D-uppsats, Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för nationalekonomi

   Författare :Jenny Karlsen; Konrad Rikardson; [2007]
   Nyckelord :Nutrition; Economic growth; Granger causality; Southern Africa;

   Sammanfattning : The relationship between a population’s nutrition intake and economic growth has been receiving an increasing amount of attention in economic literature. Although the correlation of these factors has been quite well established, the direction of the causality remains somewhat unclear: Is it nutrition intake that leads to economic growth or does economic growth lead to improved nutrition levels, or does the causality run in both directions in a self-reinforcing mechanism? It is reasonable to believe that the causal direction could have significant policy implications, particularly for developing economies in which the level of nutrition still lies significantly below recommended levels.
