Abstract

We analyze the effects of early-life shocks in the Philippines and find that in utero exposure to severe typhoons is associated with adverse outcomes. We exploit variations in typhoon exposure and sharp increases in short-term disaster relief efforts in the 1960s. Before the increase in disaster relief efforts, in utero exposure to severe typhoons was associated with higher mortality (a 9% reduction in cohort size); survivors exhibited similar levels of human capital as the unaffected. After the increase in disaster relief, the mortality effects were mitigated; however, survivors exhibited lower human capital in the long term. We offer suggestive evidence that the observed changes in adverse long-term effects are due to the relief efforts' effectiveness in increasing survival probability.

选择性死亡率与早期暴露于自然灾害的长期影响

我们分析了菲律宾早期生活冲击的影响，发现子宫内暴露于严重台风与不良后果有关。我们利用了20世纪60年代台风暴露的变化和短期救灾工作的急剧增加。在救灾工作增加之前，子宫内暴露于严重台风与更高的死亡率有关（队列规模减少9%）；幸存者表现出与未受影响者相似的人力资本水平。救灾力度加大后，死亡率的影响有所减轻；然而，从长远来看，幸存者表现出较低的人力资本。我们提供了提示性证据，表明观察到的不良长期影响的变化是由于救援工作在提高生存概率方面的有效性。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
