Obesity and Income Distribution : A Panel Data Analysis for Western World

In the present paper author attempts to support through an econometric panel data analysis the view of (Darmon and Drewnowski, 2008) that higher income classes have healthier diet, therefore lower obesity levels. The sample covers Western Europe and the United States. Data are taken from Eurostat and OECD. The elaboration of these panel data is made feasible by means of the Eviews software package
