世纪中期的消灭疟疾运动基本上消灭了巴拉圭和斯里兰卡的疟疾。使用这些干预措施作为准实验,我估计疟疾的影响,终身女性教育程度的结合,通过预先存在的地理变化的疟疾强度和队列暴露的基础上的国家抗疟疾运动的时间。斯里兰卡和巴拉圭的估计数相似,表明消灭疟疾增加了受教育年限和识字率。各国估计数的相似性加强了我们对识别战略有效性的信心。
Mid-twentieth century malaria eradication campaigns largely eliminated malaria from Paraguay and Sri Lanka. Using these interventions as quasi-experiments, I estimate malaria’s effect on lifetime female educational attainment through the combination of pre-existing geographic variation in malarial intensity and cohort exposure based on the timing of the national anti-malaria campaigns. The estimates from Sri Lanka and Paraguay are similar and indicate that malaria eradication increased years of educational attainment and literacy. The similarity of the estimates across the countries reinforces our confidence in the validity of the identification strategy.
