Abstract

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 income shocks as pathways. Early life exposure to infectious diseases appears to play a limited role but further research is required.

早期降雨量高于平均水平与成人心理健康*

我们研究了早期暴露于高于平均水平的降雨对成年人心理健康的影响。虽然我们没有发现产前暴露的影响，但产后积极降雨冲击使流行病学研究中心抑郁症（CESD）的平均心理健康评分降低了13%，患抑郁症的可能性增加了6%，相对于平均值增加了26%以上。这些影响仅限于女性。我们排除了产前压力和收入冲击的可能性。早期接触传染病的作用似乎有限，但还需要进一步研究。

期刊介绍： Whilst the Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics publishes papers in all areas of applied economics, emphasis is placed on the practical importance, theoretical interest and policy-relevance of their substantive results, as well as on the methodology and technical competence of the research. Contributions on the topical issues of economic policy and the testing of currently controversial economic theories are encouraged, as well as more empirical research on both developed and developing countries.
