August 06, 2019


SciDev.Net reported on the findings of a study co-authored by Senior Research Fellows Derek Headey and Harold Alderman on the relative caloric prices of healthy and unhealthy foods across countries, which found that these relative prices are implicated in increased obesity rates and undernutrition. The article focused on the implications of the study for Ghana, including potential pitfalls of generalizing from its findings. The article was also republished in Tanzania’s IPP Media
