Ambient heat and early childhood development
BACKGROUND: Increasing evidence suggests that climate change, along with its cascading impacts on ecosystems, societies, and communities, has significant effects on both physical and mental health. However, less is known about how exposure to excessive heat early in life may influence the development of foundational skills that shape lifelong developmental trajectories.

The local human capital costs of oil exploitation
This paper explores the local-level impacts of oil exploitation on human capital accumulation in Colombia, a resource-rich developing country. We provide evidence based on detailed spatial and temporal data on oil exploitation and education, using the number of wells to measure treatment intensity at the school level. To derive causal estimates, we rely on an instrumental variable approach that exploits the exogeneity of international oil prices …
