The Economics and Human Biology journal is devoted to the exploration of the effect of socio-economic processes on human beings as biological organisms. The Department of Economics will now be the official host of the interdisciplinary journal. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When Komlos, an economic historian, started the journal in 2003, he wanted to broaden the concept of living standards by giving health a more prominent place in thinking about welfare. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Health is listed as one of our basic and intrinsic rights in the UNs Universal Declaration of Human Rights, mentioned Komlos. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Despite being relatively new, the journal already has the 24th highest impact factor in economics partly because of the recent popularity of obesity literature and also due to its interdisciplinary nature.Contributions are welcome from auxology, anthropometry, biocultural anthropology, demography, development economics, economic history, epidemiology, health economics, human biology, human nutrition, health sciences, medicine, physical anthropology, public health and sociology. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
