MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: Econometrics in general, and Panel Data methods in particular, are becoming crucial in Public Health Economics and Social Policy analysis. In this discussion paper, we employ a useful approach of Feasible Generalized Least Squares (FGLS) to assess if there are statistically relevant relationships between hemoglobin (adjusted to sea-level), weight, and height for the period 2007–2022 in children up to five years of age in Peru. By using this method, we may find a tool that allows us to confirm if the relationships considered between the target variables by the Peruvian agencies and authorities are in the right direction to fight against chronic malnutrition and stunting.
