摘要

这篇论文记录了疟疾在非洲奴隶制在美国传播中的作用。新的经验证据表明，疟疾的传入引发了对抗疟疾劳动力的需求，这导致了疟疾肆虐地区非洲奴隶工人的大规模扩张。进一步的研究结果表明，在非洲奴隶中，更多的抗疟疾个体，即。在美国，那些出生在非洲疟疾最严重地区的人的价格要高得多。(j12, j23, j47, n31, n37, n91)

The Side Effects of Immunity: Malaria and African Slavery in the United States

This paper documents the role of malaria in the diffusion of African slavery in the United States. The novel empirical evidence reveals that the introduction of malaria triggered a demand for malaria-resistant labor, which led to a massive expansion of African enslaved workers in the more malaria-infested areas. Further results document that among African slaves, more malaria-resistant individuals—i.e., those born in the most malaria-ridden regions of Africa—commanded significantly higher prices. (JEL I12, J23, J47, N31, N37, N91)
