摘要

本文使用2021年从近4000名受访者中收集的数据集，研究了法国粮食援助接受者的粮食不安全和健康状况不佳之间的关系。对于这些社会经济背景不利的个人，粮食援助可以消除一般人口调查中报告的粮食不安全和健康之间的联系。回归估计显示，粮食不安全与健康状况不佳（自我报告的健康状况、慢性病、活动受限）之间存在很强的正相关关系。这种相关性在本地受访者中明显高于移民。在通过估算边界的自由工具方法计算粮食不安全的内生性后，我们确认粮食不安全与健康状况不佳之间存在正相关关系。访问粮食银行的频率较低，这或许可以解释为什么参与者的粮食不安全状况持续存在，并继续影响健康。

Poor health and food insecurity among food assistance recipients: Evidence from France

This paper examines the relationship between food insecurity and poor health among food assistance recipients in France using a dataset collected in 2021 from nearly 4,000 respondents. For these individuals from disadvantaged socio-economic backgrounds, food assistance may eliminate the association between food insecurity and health reported in surveys of the general population. Regression estimates show a strong positive association between food insecurity and poor health (self-reported health, chronic disease, activity limitation). This correlation is significantly higher for native respondents than for migrants. After accounting for the endogeneity of food insecurity through a free-instrument approach that estimates bounds, we confirm the positive association between food insecurity and poor health. The low frequency of visits to food banks may explain why food insecurity persists among participants and continues to affect health.

期刊介绍： Food Policy is a multidisciplinary journal publishing original research and novel evidence on issues in the formulation, implementation, and evaluation of policies for the food sector in developing, transition, and advanced economies. Our main focus is on the economic and social aspect of food policy, and we prioritize empirical studies informing international food policy debates. Provided that articles make a clear and explicit contribution to food policy debates of international interest, we consider papers from any of the social sciences. Papers from other disciplines (e.g., law) will be considered only if they provide a key policy contribution, and are written in a style which is accessible to a social science readership.
