摘要

基于效率和不平等因素，我们比较了法国、美国和英国的体重指数（BMI）类别在性别之间的分布。我们提出的新的规范性标准非常适合这个变量的序数性质。我们的实证结果是两倍的，得到了稳健统计推断的支持。首先，两种性别的BMI类别在法国的分布比在英国好，在英国也比在美国好。其次，在这三个国家，BMI类别在男性中的分布恰好比在女性中的分布更平均。

Is Body Weight Better Distributed among Men than among Women? A Robust Normative Analysis for France, the UK, and the US

We compare distributions of Body Mass Index (BMI) categories among genders in France, the US and the UK on the basis of effciency and inequality considerations. The new normative criteria that we propose are well-suited to the ordinal nature of this variable. Our empirical results, which are supported by robust statistical inference, are twofolds. First, BMI categories are better distributed in France than in the UK, and in the UK than in the US for the two genders. Second, BMI categories happen to be more equally distributed among men than among women in all three countries.
