“…4 Because Great Britain was much less exposed to allied air bombings than continental European countries, the available information could largely underestimate the damage caused in that country during WWII. We thus complement the THOR dataset with detailed information from Baldoli et al (2011) on the German aircraft bombing on the British Islands between 1940 and 1945. 5 To assess the statistical relationship between the bombing variable and the share of non-European immigrants, we exploit migration data from Determinants of International Migration project (DEMIG).…”

This article investigates the role immigrants and their native-born children play in shaping native attitudes toward immigrants in the European Union. By exploiting the 2017 Special Eurobarometer on immigrant integration, we show that countries with a relatively high share of immigrants are more likely to believe that immigrants are a burden on the welfare system and worsen crime. In contrast, native opinions on the impact of immigration on culture and the labor market are unrelated to the presence of immigrants. We also find that the effects of second-generation immigrants on pro-immigrant attitudes toward security and fiscal concerns are positive (as opposed to first-generation immigrants). Finally, we find no impact of the immigrant share on the attitudes of natives supporting far-left or left political parties, while it is the most negative among respondents affiliated with far-right parties.

“…In fact, this period was marked by relatively few casualties, and these casualties were concentrated around strategic bombing targets, such as military and commercial harbors, significant industrial sites (i.e. metallurgic, transport and heavy machinery industries), and important railways (Baldoli and Knapp, 2012;Baldoli et al, 2011).…”

“…According to Strazza (2010), very frequently the information about the arrival of military troops did not spread across neighbouring villages. Moreover, according to Baldoli et al (2011), there were no national evacuation plans. From a logistics point of view, moving across provinces was extremely difficult, since railroads and main transportation networks had been destroyed by tactical bombing from the allied forces (Baldoli and Knapp, 2012).…”

Maternal Stress and Offspring Lifelong Labor Market Outcomes

et al. 2020

This paper examines the effects of in-utero exposure to stress on lifelong labor market outcomes. We exploit a unique natural experiment that involved randomly placed Nazi raids on municipalities in Italy during WWII. We use administrative data on the universe of private sector workers in Italy and link this data to unique historical data with detailed information about war casualties and Nazi raids across space (Municipality) and time. We find that prenatal stress exposure leads to lower wage earnings when workers start their career, and that this effect persists until retirement. The earnings penalty is in large part due to the type of job that people hold and interruptions in their working career due to unemployment. We further show that workers exposed to in-utero stress face larger earnings reductions after job loss due to mass layoffs. This earnings loss deepens their relative disadvantage over time.

Heterogenous Mechanisms in WWII Stress Transmission: Evidence from a Natural Experiment

2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper analyses how in utero exposure to maternal stress from WWII affects long-term health and economic outcomes and describes different mechanisms at work, showing that current health conditions are heterogeneously related to the type of fetal stressor. We exploit the Italian armistice of September 8th 1943 as exogenous variation in the war intensity, providing WWII long-run causal effects on objectively measured health and economic outcomes. We find that in utero exposure to intense WWII events had long-lasting effects on health and that Nazi massacres predict late-onset depression, while nutritional deprivation suffered in large cities had lasting effects on diabetes. Finally, we innovate by showing that these effects increase with the age of the treated individuals.
