Educational Effects of Sibling Deaths on Surviving Siblings
Early Life Exposure to Above Average Rainfall and Adult Mental Health
We study the effects of early life exposure to above average levels of rainfall on adult mental health. While we find no effect from prenatal exposure, postnatal positive rainfall shocks decrease average Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression (CESD) mental health scores by 13% and increase the likelihood of depression by 6%, a more than 26% increase relative to the mean. These effects are limited to females. We rule out prenatal stress and…
The stability and evolution of risk attitudes and time preferences after a disaster
We examine the evolution of risk attitudes and time preferences after the 2006 Yogyakarta earthquake, one of the largest recent earthquakes in Indonesia. Employing the earthquake as a natural experiment and using information on the pre-earthquake location of individuals, we compare the evolution of the behavioral parameters of respondents in earthquake affected communities with those in neighboring communities which were not affected. We find str…
The implications of aggregate measures of exposure to violence for the estimated impacts on individual risk preferences
Conflict-Risk and Agricultural Portfolios
Although the impact of insecurity on agricultural decisions is widely discussed, it remains largely unstudied empirically. This study estimates the effect of risk of violence on livestock and crop portfolios using spatially disaggregated risk measures and data from over 690,000 households, approximately 75 per cent of all rural households in Northern Uganda. As the risk of violence increases, households decrease their livestock holdings while shi…
Do the Lessons From Micro-Conflict Literature Transfer to High Crime Areas
Exposure to political violence has been found to affect behavioural parameters. The effects of high levels of criminal violence, however, are largely unknown. We examine the effects of Mexico’s war on drugs on risk aversion, mental health and pro-social behaviour. Using a nonlinear difference-in-differences (DiD) model, we find that the post 2006 surge in violence significantly increased risk aversion and reduced trust in civic institutions witho…
