Currently, few studies allow linkage of prices, diet, and health outcomes in any systematic manner that considers the timing of the changes. 2013-06-05T19:20:45Z 2013-06-05T19:20:45Z 2002-11 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2002/11/3916957/food-policy-options-preventing-controlling-nutrition-related-non-communicable-diseases 1-932126-79-1 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/13801 English en_US HNP discussion paper series; CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Working Paper Publications & Research
