“…The offspring generation, in contrast, enjoyed the relative social stability of the established commune systems, when nutrition and general family environment and health were much improved (e.g., Hesketh and Wei, 1997;Hesketh and Zhu, 1997;Ye, 1997). This transition of an urban society in Beijing thus provides an opportunity to test whether improved nutrition and greater access to healthcare and medical care result in a larger phenotype as assessed from the dentition (e.g., Chang et al, 1996;Bloom and Xingyuan, 1997;Hesketh and Wei, 1997;Huang et al, 1997;Graham et al, 1999).…”

Environmental improvements can lead to greater size of skeletodental structures as the population comes closer to expressing its genetic growth potential. Such secular trends have been documented in many human settings, especially for increased stature and faster tempos of growth. The present study is based on 185 same-sex parent-offspring pairs of data for maximum buccolingual crown diameters of the permanent teeth from a cohort in Beijing, China, where parents experienced much of their development during and after World War II with the deprivations of the changing regime. Their offspring enjoyed the relative stability of the established Communist system, where nutrition and stability were much improved. There were significant increases in buccolingual diameters of the premolars and molars in the offspring. Increase for premolars and molars was about 1%, but larger in females than males (1.6% vs. 0.5%). Opposite changes occurred in the incisors and canines (i.e., larger parental dimensions), but we contend that these are an age-related artifact brought on by greater passive eruption of older individuals' teeth that exposes a broader portion of the crown at the gingival margin. The secular trend in crown size coincides with other research in contemporary China, disclosing increases in body size and faster tempos of growth as health and nutrition continue to improve.

“…There is a significantly greater incidence of malnutrition among the minority children (2), and it is reflected in measures of height and weight for age (3). Huang et al (4) reported rates of infant mortality in Han as compared with three other minority groups and found significantly higher rates of respiratory diseases, neonatal tetanus, diarrhea, and infectious disease in the minority groups.…”

“…In this section, we provide estimates for the road and water sectors in 2050 for Scenarios 2 and 3 (see Kohli and Mukherjee (2011) for Scenario 1 results for Asia); the difference in outcomes is stark, especially as both indicators correlate strongly with public health and mortality in developing countries (Huang, Yu, Wang, & Li, 1997;Ombok et al, 2010). We do not present results for the other sectors here.…”

This article presents the construction and analysis of a long-run GDP growth model, including sample results, its sensitivity to parameter choices, and explanations of the concepts underpinning it. It is designed to be flexible so that scholars can use it with their own assumptions and parameter choices to customize results. The model estimates GDP as a function of labor force, capital stock, and total factor productivity (TFP) for 185 countries through 2050 under alternate scenarios. It provides rough estimates for real exchange rates, poverty indices, median and percentile incomes and consumption levels, and the populations of the lower, middle, and upper income classes. The model also provides additional evidence for the TFP convergence phenomenon and the effect of the state failure on TFP growth. It can further be used to model stocks, accessibility, and investment requirements for 10 infrastructure sectors. The model can yield counterfactual estimates and actual and roughly estimated comparable historical data for most of the projected series, provided in identical units. For 126 countries, such series (e.g., TFP) are provided back through 1956, and for some even earlier.
