We provide the first estimates of the negative impact of exposure to extremely high temperatures during pregnancy on … mothers' labor market outcomes. We employ individual-level survey data from China and leverage plausibly exogenous … fluctuations in heat exposure within cities. The results demonstrate that exposure to extremely hot weather during pregnancy …

Sex ratios at birth shape populations and are linked to maternal health and gender discrimination. We estimate the effect of prenatal temperature exposure on birth sex by linking data on 5 million births in 33 sub-Saharan African countries and India with high-resolution temperature data. We find...

Self-selection into healthcare options biases estimates of the effects of healthcare on health outcomes. We exploit exogenous variation in the cost of formal-sector care to show that the use of such care improves short-term health outcomes for acutely ill children in Tanzania. Better...

We estimate the effects of higher quality healthcare usage on health, labor supply and schooling outcomes for sick individuals in Tanzania. Using exogenous variation in the cost of formal sector healthcare to predict treatment choice, we show that using better quality care improves health...

compensating differential for STI risk. I introduce a compensating differential for pregnancy risk as a novel source through a … simple model that incorporates both STI risk and pregnancy risk. I empirically test this using a rich panel dataset of 19 … regressions and find that compensating differentials for STI risk and pregnancy risk are sources of the price premium for …
