- W209322488 abstract "Meltzer and Chen (2011) found that changes in the real minimum wage were negatively correlated with BMI levels in the United States from 1984 to 2007. This study extends that analysis by looking at the years 2007 to 2013 to better understand the relationship between real minimum wage and obesity during the Great Recession. The literature on how the business cycle affects health is mixed. While unemployment is detrimental to individual health, at the population level some studies have found mortality to operate in a procyclical fashion; mortality declines during recessions. Studies attempting to explore this phenomenon further often examine how the business cycle affects health habits individually. The literature has found obesity to be both procyclical and counter-cyclical. However, studies that focus on the underlying dynamics of obesity (calorie intake and expenditure) tend to lend credence to the counter-cyclical hypothesis. The Great Recession saw reduced inflation and multiple federal minimum wage increases. Given these recessionary effects, I conceded that the Meltzer and Chen (2011) correlation could potentially be reversed but hypothesized that it would still hold and show a negative correlation between real minimum wage and obesity. The results suggested a positive correlation with a coefficient of .44, refuting my hypothesis. I reason that this could have been caused by recessionary effects and/or a third factor that influences both variables: income inequality. THE IMPACT OF MINIMUM WAGE ON OBESITY 3" @default.
