Some of the issues explored include: the relationship between childhood obesity and food insecurity; adolescent weight gain and social networks; obesity and happiness; the relationship between fast food and obesity; tobacco control; race and gender differences; and consumer health. This book is a compilation of articles originally published in the journals Applied Economics and Applied Economics Letters. |
