英文文献摘要:
Widespread malnutrition in developing countries calls for appropriate interventions, presupposing good knowledge about the nutritional impacts of policies. Little previous work has been carried out in this direction. We present a comprehensive analytical framework, which we apply for Malawi. Using household data and a demand systems approach, we estimate income and price elasticities of food, calorie, and micronutrient consumption. These estimates are used for policy simulations. Given multiple nutrient deficiencies, income-related policies are better suited than price policies to improve nutrition. While consumer subsidies for maize increase calorie and mineral consumption, they contribute to a higher prevalence of vitamin deficiencies.
发展中国家普遍存在的营养不良要求采取适当的干预措施,前提是充分了解政策对营养的影响。在这方面进行的前期工作很少。我们提出了一个全面的分析框架,我们将其应用于马拉维。利用家庭数据和需求系统方法,我们估计了收入和食品、热量和微量营养素消费的价格弹性。这些估计用于政策模拟。考虑到多种营养缺乏,与收入相关的政策比价格政策更适合改善营养。虽然消费者对玉米的补贴增加了热量和矿物质的消耗,但也导致了维生素缺乏的更普遍现象。
