"Obesity is a major public health challenge. More than one-third of the U.S. adult population is considered obese, a figure that has more than doubled since the mid-1970s. Among children, obesity rates have more than tripled over the same period. Not only is obesity associated with numerous medical complications, but it incurs significant economic cost. At its simplest, obesity is a result of an energy imbalance, with obese (and overweight) people consuming more energy (calories) than they are expending. During the last 10-20 years, behavioral scientists have made significant progress toward building an evidence base for understanding what drives energy imbalance in overweight and obese individuals. Meanwhile, food scientists have been tapping into this growing evidence base to improve existing technologies and create new technologies that can be applied to alter the food supply in ways that reduce the obesity burden on the American population.

prevention and reduction effort examines the complexity of human eating behavior and explores ways in which the food industry can continue to leverage modern food processing technologies to influence energy intake. The report also examines the opportunities and challenges of altering the food supply--both at home and outside the home--and outlines lessons learned, best practices, and next steps."--Publisher's description. |

La crisis financiera mundial puso de relieve los peligros de los sistemas financieros que han crecido demasiado con demasiada rapidez. En este documento se reexamina la profundización financiera, centrándose el análisis en lo que pueden aprender los mercados emergentes de la experiencia de las economías avanzadas. En él se observa que los beneficios de la profundización financiera para el crecimiento y la estabilidad siguen siendo importantes en el caso de la mayoría de los mercados emergentes, pero hay límites en cuanto a su tamaño y velocidad. Cuando la profundización financiera sobrepasa la fortaleza del marco de supervisión, lleva a una excesiva asunción de riesgo e |

inestabilidad. Algo alentador es que las reformas regulatorias que promueven la profundidad del sector financiero son esencialmente las mismas que aquellas que contribuyen a una mayor estabilidad. Una mejor regulación --no necesariamente más regulación-- determina entonces mayores posibilidades de lograr tanto desarrollo como estabilidad. |
