摘要

我们研究了二战期间在美国被迫流离失所和监禁的日裔美国人的代际健康后果。被监禁的母亲生下的孩子在出生时健康状况较差。这种健康状况的下降表明，由于暴露于监狱营地，整个出生体重分布发生了变化。被监禁的人不太可能与其他种族的父亲生孩子，但更有可能投资于教育，并参与劳动力市场。尽管有这些积极的人力资本效应，但总的来说，我们发现监禁对代际健康有负面影响。

The Intergenerational Health Effects of Forced Displacement: Japanese American Incarceration during WWII

We study the intergenerational health consequences of forced displacement and incarceration of Japanese Americans in the US during WWII. Incarcerated mothers had babies who were less healthy at birth. This decrease in health represents a shift in the entire birthweight distribution due to exposure to prison camps. Imprisoned individuals were less likely to have children with fathers of other ethnic groups but were more likely to invest in education, and participate in the labor market. Despite these positive human capital effects, overall we find a negative effect of incarceration on intergenerational health.
