Results show that overweight prostitutes charge less for their services. However, prostitutes charge more for performing risky sex regardless of the weight status. By further looking at weight and height, we found that the price of prostitutes is only associated with weight. ? 2012 Elsevier B.V.Obesity; Prostitute price; Risky sex; Taiwan[SDGs]SDG3[SDGs]SDG5journal article10.1016/j.econlet.2012.06.041
