这项研究发现，不同类型的自然灾害对埃塞俄比亚、印度、秘鲁和越南12至15岁儿童的教育和认知能力产生了不同的影响。洪水往往比干旱、霜冻和冰雹对儿童教育造成更大的有害影响。在埃塞俄比亚、印度和越南，洪水使儿童完成学业的人数减少。就越南而言，洪水也会降低儿童的入学率和认知能力得分。虽然洪水对印度儿童没有显著影响，但干旱、霜冻和冰雹对儿童的认知能力测试分数有显著的负面影响。在秘鲁，灾害对儿童教育的影响很小，在统计上也不显著。
The study finds a differential impact of different types of natural disasters on education and cognitive ability of children aged 12 to 15 years in Ethiopia, India, Peru, and Vietnam using a Young Lives data set and child fixed-effects regression. Floods tend to cause more harmful effects on children's education than droughts, frosts, and hailstorms. Exposure to floods reduces the number of completed grades of children in Ethiopia, India, and Vietnam. For the case of Vietnam, exposure to floods also decreases school enrollment, and cognitive ability scores of children. Although floods do not have a significant effect on children in India, droughts, frosts, and hailstorms have a significantly negative effect on cognitive ability test scores of children. In Peru, the effect of disasters on children's education is small and not statistically significant.
