Abstract

This paper studies the impact of the 1999 Colombian Earthquake on child nutrition and schooling. The identification strategy combines household survey data with event data on the timing and location of the earthquake, exploiting the exogenous exposure of children to the shock. The paper uniquely identifies both the short- and medium-term impacts of the earthquake, combining two cross-sectional household surveys collected before the earthquake and two cross-sectional household surveys collected one and six years after the earthquake. Colombia provides a unique setting for our study because the government launched a very successful reconstruction program after the earthquake. Findings report a strong negative impact of the earthquake on child nutrition and schooling in the short-term. Relevantly, amid the aid received by the affected area, the negative consequences of the earthquake persist with a lesser degree in the medium-term, particularly for boys.
自然灾害对儿童营养和学业的持续影响:来自1999年哥伦比亚地震的证据
本文研究了1999年哥伦比亚地震对儿童营养和学校教育的影响。识别策略将家庭调查数据与地震时间和地点的事件数据结合起来,利用儿童受到冲击的外源性暴露。本文结合地震前收集的两份横断面家庭调查和地震后一年和六年收集的两份横断面家庭调查,独特地确定了地震的短期和中期影响。哥伦比亚为我们的研究提供了一个独特的环境,因为该国政府在地震后启动了一个非常成功的重建项目。调查结果显示,地震在短期内对儿童营养和学校教育产生了强烈的负面影响。与此相关的是,在受灾地区收到的援助中,地震的负面影响在中期持续存在,程度较轻,特别是对男孩而言。
