| Abstract: | Russia experienced a phenomenal decline in economic activity between 1996 and 1998 and it was followed by a dramatic rebound between 1998 and 2000. Panel data is used to examine the impact of variation in household resources on six dimensions of nutritional status, distinguishing longer-run from short-term fluctuations in resources. Nutritional status is very resilient to short-term variation in household resources. Gross energy intake, adult weight and child stature change very little as expenditure deviates from its long-run average. Longer-run resources have a substantively large, positive and significant effect on energy intake, diet quality, adult weight and child stature. |
