Project Description
Summary:
View help for Summary
We examine the effects of exposure to malaria in early childhood
on educational attainment and economic status in adulthood by
exploiting geographic variation in malaria prevalence in India prior
to a nationwide eradication program in the 1950s. We find that the
program led to modest increases in household per capita consumption
for prime age men, and the effects for men are larger than those
for women in most specifications. We find no evidence of increased
educational attainment for men and mixed evidence for women.
