Abstract

Abstract--The conditions under which inferences can be made about the effects of changes in food prices and other interventions on the health status of individual family members from commonly-available household aggregate consumption data are assessed in the context of a multi-member household jointly producing farm output for sale and health. Data on farm households in Indonesia are used to obtain and compare estimates of how changes in commodity prices, health program service levels, and sources of drinking water alter household nutritional intake and the illness propensities of individuals, and how changes in the consumption of nutrients directly alter health.
