The negative relationship you have doesn’t make sense. Since it’s mostly young or less educated blacks getting imprisoned, taking them out of the labor market artificially reduces wage inequalities.

I guess when you get devastated by decades long deflation which erodes your position in the world, you don’t worry about inflationary ramifications.

This is very timely. I’m in the midst of writing a research paper about the impact of gestational weight gain and pre-packed and pre pregnancy obesity on the number of infant and maternal health outcomes, including C-section rates.

This allows me to do a much more accurate economic cost analysis. Thank you!
