Call for Papers
Special Issue of Economics and Human Biology
The purpose of this special issue will be to explore in depth the
association between anthropometric measures (such as height, weight, bmi) on
the one hand, and health, mortality, and labor productivity (income) on the
other. The concept of health should be interpreted broadly to include
specific diseases as well as subjective indicators. We are not only
interested in weight but also in birth-weight as well as in overweight
(obesity). Moreover, papers dealing with the forecasting of obesity and its
health consequences, and the use of anthropometric indicators for the
estimation and forecasting of health adjusted life expectancy, are of
interest. Papers which fall within this set of issues - without temporal or
geographic limitations - are welcome.
Potential contributors are encouraged to send an abstract of the proposed
paper to the editor, [log in to unmask], who would be pleased to
comment on its suitability for the special issue. Submissions should conform
to EHB format. Papers are due by 31st December 2004.
