“…Given well-documented linkages between health and cognition, a reasonable prior would be to observe similar tendencies for both outcomes (Lo Bue 2019 ; Bharadwaj et al 2018 ; Sánchez 2017 ; Sudfeld et al 2015 ; Spears 2012 ; Grantham-McGregor et al 2007 ). However, we find evidence for a detrimental effect for HAZ but no effect for math.…”

Using panel data from India, this paper investigates the effect of early maternal age on offspring human capital, contributing to the scarce evidence on this phenomenon, especially in the context of a developing country. The analysis relies on mother fixed effects to allow for unobserved differences between mothers and employs a variety of empirical strategies to address remaining sibling-specific concerns. Our results indicate that children born to young mothers are shorter for their age, with stronger effects for girls born to very young mothers. We also find some evidence suggesting that children born to very young mothers perform worse in math. By exploring the evolution of effects over time for the first time in the literature, we find that the height effect weakens as children age. Further analysis suggests both biological and behavioral factors as transmission channels.

“…To measure the incidence of fire events, I take advantage of the average number of fire events detected by satellites during a year for a given country. The focus of this study at a global scale is a key improvement to the literature that mostly includes micro-level studies conducted in a certain set of countries, including the United States, Indonesia, and Nepal (Loomis 2004;Lo Bue 2019;Paudel 2021a;McCoy and Walsh 2018).…”
