使用挪威的人口数据，我们研究的压力引起的母亲的父母在怀孕期间死亡的短期和长期的结果的婴儿。使用各种实证策略来解决怀孕期间非随机接触死亡的问题，我们发现对出生结果的负面影响很小。然而，我们没有发现对成人结局有不良影响的证据。这表明，虽然可能会对出生结果产生可测量的影响，但怀孕期间的急性心理压力对孩子在教育和劳动力市场上的成功产生有限的不利影响。
Using population data from Norway, we examine the effects of stress induced by the death of the mother's parent during pregnancy on both the short-run and the long-run outcomes of the infant. Using a variety of empirical strategies to address the issue of nonrandom exposure to death during a pregnancy, we find small negative effects on birth outcomes. However, we find no evidence of adverse effects on adult outcomes. This suggests that, though there may be measurable effects on birth outcomes, acute psychological stressors during pregnancy have limited adverse consequences for the child's success in education and the labor market.
