Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes

We have prepared a White Paper, which is the early draft of a book, on Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes using primary clinical research. The paper ties together the linkages between the two and follows the sequelae and their costs. We then look at a Coasian versus Pigouvian approach to managing the negative externalities. Perhaps this may be useful for the economists and opinion writers who have difficulty with the obvious nexus that exists.
