The impact of economic adversity on adolescent self-esteem: Evidence from Ethiopia
This paper investigates the relationship between self-esteem and random negative economic shocks experienced during the formative stages of the life cycle. Combining individual data from parents and children within the same household, with rainfall variation during the growing season in Ethiopia, we find that negative shocks experienced during adolescence have a relevant negative and persistent effect on self-esteem. Moreover, we find some tentative evidence that these shocks may have an effect that spans generations.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization is devoted to theoretical and empirical research concerning economic decision, organization and behavior and to economic change in all its aspects. Its specific purposes are to foster an improved understanding of how human cognitive, computational and informational characteristics influence the working of economic organizations and market economies and how an economy structural features lead to various types of micro and macro behavior, to changing patterns of development and to institutional evolution. Research with these purposes that explore the interrelations of economics with other disciplines such as biology, psychology, law, anthropology, sociology and mathematics is particularly welcome.
