| Abstract: | Development accounting techniques are used to assess the contribution of health to differences in income per capita among countries. The estimates are build up of the effect of health starting from microeconomic data. Both a particular condition, anemia, and a proxy for general health, the adult survival rate are examined. It is found that differences in anemia explain 1,3% of the log variance of income per capita, and that differences in adult survival explain 19% of the log variance of income per capita. |
