我们研究疟疾对非洲经济发展的长期影响。使用导致镰状细胞病的突变的流行率数据,我们测量了在收集正式数据之前疟疾对非洲死亡率的影响。我们的估计是,在受影响较大的地区,疟疾使存活到成年的概率降低了大约10个百分点,这是目前疾病负担的两倍。疟疾死亡率的下降幅度与其他死亡原因的下降幅度大致相当。然后,我们要问的是,疟疾的估计负担是否对欧洲接触之前的经济发展产生了影响。使用族裔群体一级的数据,我们发现几乎没有证据表明疟疾负担与人口密度或其他发展措施之间存在负相关关系。
We examine the effect of malaria on economic development in Africa over the very long run. Using data on the prevalence of the mutation that causes sickle cell disease, we measure the impact of malaria on mortality in Africa prior to the period in which formal data were collected. Our estimate is that in the more afflicted regions, malaria lowered the probability of surviving to adulthood by about ten percentage points, which is twice the current burden of the disease. The reduction in malaria mortality has been roughly equal to the reduction in other causes of mortality. We then ask whether the estimated burden of malaria had an effect on economic development in the period before European contact. Using data at the ethnic group level, we find little evidence of a negative relationship between malaria burden and population density or other measures of development.
